Mussels

This uses a packet of mussels in a marinade to do half the work for you and means you don’t have to spend time cleaning and debearding the shellfish

A cheat’s freezer version of spaghetti vongole, using ready-cooked and shelled mussels. On the table in 15 minutes, it’s ready to enjoy with the rest of the bottle of wine that you’ve opened! You could also use frozen baby scallops instead, or even prawns

A splash of fizz and a hint of spice makes an elegant starter – with plenty of bubbles left over!
