Clean the mussels by removing the mussel beard with your hand, going up and down the mussel until it comes off.

Chop parsley and chives, and add them to the mussels.

Add garlic and shallots, along with tarragon and thyme to the mix.

Prepare a small pot with a little bit of water and vermouth, adding a few bay leaves and a slice of lemon.

Steam the mussels in the pot until they open up, which indicates they are ready.

Remove the top shell of the opened mussels, leaving the muscle inside, and cover it with butter.

Place the mussels in the fridge to firm up the butter before grilling.

Preheat the grill to high heat.

Prepare a piece of foil to place the mussels on the grill, which will act as a drip tray and hold the mussels in place.

Grill the mussels on high heat just to warm the butter and get a little crust on them.
