In this delicious recipe, mussels are coated in a thick curry butter, wrapped in foil, and cooked on the grill until done. They are really delectable! I serve these as an appetizer with warm, crusty bread for dipping, then serve a large green salad with grilled chicken or shrimp on top as a quick summer lunch.
