If you walk into a Chinese buffet and see a tray of these, you know you're about to have a good time. This recipe is quick and easy to make using frozen mussels. It only takes 20 minutes so you can make it for a weeknight.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I am using Kewpie Japanese mayo)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or vinegar)
- 1 pound mussels in the half-shell
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and set the rack in the middle position.
- Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Place the mussels on a baking sheet with the shell on the bottom. Spoon the mayo sauce over the mussels and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
- Bake the mussels for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to brown in some spots.
