This is a spicy curried dish that my English husband loves! Great as an appetizer or as a main dish. For less spicy/hot, reduce ginger and/or curry paste. Serve with your favorite crusty bread for dipping.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon green curry paste
1 teaspoon green curry paste
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
8 ounces coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon water
1 lime, juiced
1 ½ pounds fresh mussels, scrubbed and debearded
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add ginger, green curry paste, lemon zest, and garlic. Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce, water, and lime juice. Bring to a vigorous simmer.
Place mussels in a steamer above simmering sauce; cook until mussels open, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove mussels from heat and place into a large serving bowl.
Place cilantro into the sauce mixture and cook just until it turns bright green, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour sauce over mussels and serve.

Cook's Note:

Mussels may also be cooked directly in the sauce.
