Masala Mussels Recipe

I live in a beautiful area of Wisconsin right on the St. Croix River. The St. Croix is a very clean river and home to the widest variety of mussels in the entire world. I included this recipe to serve as a teaching tool as well as an easy dinner. Many seafood options may sound like they are carb-free, but in reality, mussels, scallops, and other shellfish contain carbohydrates. To check the exact amounts of carbs in specific shellfish. I use frozen mussels to make this dish; they’re easy to use (no cleaning necessary) and widely available. If you can find fresh mussels, feel free to use them instead of frozen if you like.
