This is lovely summer version of the Spanish Classic. All ingredients are cooked to perfection hours ahead of time and simply assembled at the last minute and served at room temperature.
Smoked paprika from Spain is one of the most enduring imports of the last few years. Whether bitter, sweet and hot, it adds complexity and character to the simplest preparation.
Look for cultivated mussels where you buy seafood, as they require less time to clean than wild mussels. This satisfying summer meal is also easy on the pocketbook.
Serve over pasta or rice or with lots of crusty bread. Put a few extra bowls on the table to collect the empty shells, and provide spoons for the juices.
