Thai Coconut Curry Mussels

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thai Coconut Curry Mussels.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large pot and pour in the creamy coconut milk, zesty lime juice, and a splash of white wine.

2. Step 2

   Next, add in the vibrant Thai red curry paste, minced garlic, savory fish sauce, and a sprinkle of sugar.

3. Step 3

   Give everything a good stir until the sugar and curry paste are fully dissolved, creating a fragrant base for your dish.

4. Step 4

   Now, bring this delightful mixture to a gentle boil and let it bubble away for about two minutes; this step really helps to deepen those wonderful flavors.

5. Step 5

   Once your pot is bubbling, it’s time to introduce the cleaned mussels.

6. Step 6

   Carefully add them in, cover the pot, and let them cook for 5 to 8 minutes.

   Remember to stir occasionally, as this will help ensure even cooking.

   You’ll know they’re ready when the mussels have opened up, revealing their tender goodness.

9. Step 9

   After cooking, take the pot off the heat and be sure to discard any mussels that haven’t opened—better safe than sorry! Finally, transfer the mussels along with the aromatic broth to a serving dish, and for that finishing touch, toss in some freshly chopped cilantro.
