Number Of Ingredients 9

24 large fresh mussels in shells (2 lb)
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon diced pimientos, drained
1 teaspoon capers, if desired
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 drops red pepper sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. In tightly covered container, shake remaining ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until serving.
  • Place mussels on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until mussels open, removing mussels as they open. Discard any unopened mussels. Place mussels on serving platter; drizzle with oil mixture.
