Nutritional value of mussels
Mussels offer exceptional nutritional value, and their best benefit is the broad range of different nutrients they provide. For example, mussels combine protein with a nutrient-rich package of omega-3 and significant amounts of vitamins and minerals.
A serving of cooked blue mussels, weighing 85 grams, contains 146 calories with 20 grams of protein, or 40 percent of the recommended daily dose. When protein is broken down into amino acids, your body uses it to build and maintain the cells in your muscles, nerves, bones, skin and cartilage.

Notes
- We need to cook this dish at high heat, so that the water from the shrimps and spinach will evaporate and won't boil
- Add the garlic right at the end, so it does not burn. Additional in this way we can properly absorb inulin, a very potent anti-oxidant.
- Add some ginger, mushrooms if you want
- You can also make this dish with coconut cream, but ensure you don't add any water to the pan.
