Method:

Adjust the oven shelf to the middle position and preheat the oven to 200 °C.

Use a big oven pan. Add cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, Chilli & Garlic Seasoning and Fish Stock mixed with wine or water.

Stir everything together.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove pan from oven.

Add the cleaned mussels or defrosted prawns and distribute evenly.

Return the pan to the oven.

Bake open for 15 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.

Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and serve with crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce.

Serve in the pan so that everyone can help themselves and mop up the juices as they go along.
