This Spanish Mussels Recipe with Paprika & Tomatoes is truly a stunning dish. Loaded with Spanish flavors and beyond easy to make. You can serve these Spanish mussels as an appetizer or as a full on main course on top of some penne pasta. Either way you go, make sure to have a crusty baguette to mop up all that beautiful sauce.

The star of the dish is the almighty mussel, the most under-rated shellfish ever. They are low in fat, high in protein, filled with so many minerals and inexpensive. In Spain we consume mussels by the boat-load, and with this Spanish Mussels Recipe with Paprika & Tomatoes you will be too. Easy to make and done in 30 minutes.

Many stores sell already cleaned mussels, but when they are not available, no problem. Cleaning mussels is actually very easy and enjoyable to do. Begin by always rinsing them under cold running water, remove the beard from each mussel and start scrapping off any barnacles and/or dirt that each mussel has.

I love to use a butter knife to scrape everything off, just because it makes it a lot easier than a scrub and it doesn´t scratch the shell. Watch the video below on how to make this Spanish Mussels Recipe with Paprika & Tomatoes or check out the recipe card below, which you can print. Salud!

    This was an easy but great recipe !! I have used it twice, but the second time I poured the marinara into a blender for a few secs then put back into the pan and added the mussels and let it simmer for 6 mins. The result was a creamy marinara, great for dipping the bread !!
