    We firmly believe there are few meals as delightful as ones made with fresh seafood and these Spicy Keto Mussels do not disappoint!

    Be sure to source super fresh mussels and clean them well tossing out any that don't snap closed when tapped and also any that do not open after cooking. You can read more about how to source and clean mussels here.

    Mussels are a nutritional powerhouse so I’ve linked to a few articles breaking down the excellent health benefits linked to consuming mussels.
