The most unfortunate encounters? those with fish bones! I really love fish soup! But… when I’m at the restaurant and I find them in my dish I get angry and not hungry!

Now divide the ingredients in two bowls:
- In the first one place the mussles and peel them;
- In the second one place the coking liquid and filter.
STEP 2: COOK THE SHRIMPS
