'Nuff said. Go buy a bag of mussels, they tend to come in 2-lb sacks. Take them home. Rinse them until they don't feel sandy on the outsides of the shells anymore. Put them in a big pot. Fill with a cup or so of wine, a can of diced tomatoes, and another cup or two of water or stock. Bring to a boil, add some shallots, some basil, and some corn kernels (frozen is fine). Once the mussels open up, take them off the stove, put in a big dish, and slurp them out of their shells. I guess you could use a fork and be all fancy, but we found they were much tastier if we just slurped them. Then you get more of the broth and stuff too. Yum!
