Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box of Frozen Greenshell Mussels ( Chop the meat or leave whole )

To make the Dynamite Sauce:

  • 1 Cup of Japanese Kewpie Mayo
  • 1 Tablespoon of Siracha Hot Sauce ( Adjust to taste )

  • Chopped Green Onions
  • Masago ( Optional )

  • Sliced Lemons

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Detach the mussels from its shell. Shake off any excess water. Place the empty shells on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. Chop the meat into thirds or leave them whole.
  • Then place the mussels back onto the shells and fill them with the mussels.
  • Make the Dynamite sauce. Squeeze the Japanese mayo into a bowl and add in the Siracha. Then stir . Also add in the Masago (optional ) and stir to combine .
  • Spoon some of the Dynamite sauce over the mussels. Completely cover them with the sauce.
  • Completely cover them with the sauce.
  • Transfer the mussels to the oven and place the tray on the top rack. Bake for 15 minutes until they are golden brown. A quicker way to cook them is to place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. If you plan to broil them be sure to keep a very close eye on them as they can easily burn.
  • Garnish with some chopped green onions or you can top with some more of the Masago.
  • Serve with sliced lemons.
