- Step 1: Preheat grill on high.
- Step 2: Brush the fennel wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Grill on a hot grill until deeply charred and the fennel is just starting to soften, about 10 minutes.
- Let the fennel cool a bit before roughly chopping 4 of the wedges.
- Step 3: Line a wide shallow bowl with three layers of Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil.
- Place the cleaned mussels in the middle of the foil.
- Add the shallot, garlic, smoked paprika, chopped fennel, white wine, cream and 1 teaspoon flake salt.
- Step 4: Make a foil packet.
- Seal it tightly first in the center, rolling up the edges tightly and then drawing in the outside flaps.
- Step 5: Grill for 12 minutes or until the juices are bubbling and the mussels have opened.
- Step 6: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, grill the lemon halves until charred and juicy.
- Step 7: Finish with a squeeze of the grilled lemon, the reserved grilled fennel wedges, a sprinkling of fennel fronds and a pinch of flake salt.
