Simple and easy, these are a great alternative for mussel lovers! Thais eat a lot of snacks and this is just one of many! This can be served as a nibble, or can be expanded to a full meal course served with bread, Peking rice, or spicy potatoes (for just a few examples).

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mussels. I had some leftover from a previous meal, and this was a delicious way to use them up.
