Each bite tastes sweet, spicy, and citrusy sunshine good! I love making mussel because its super fast and fun to eat out of the shell!


Tips/Hacks For Mussels:

First, before cooking, make sure shells are closed. If not tap them. If the mussels don’t close throw them out. Also, smell the shells! If they smell salty and fresh they are good to cook! Finally, soak them in water around 20 min before cooking. The mussels breathing in water they will expel sand! So you can prevent sandy bites! I love making this in the summer for friends! Feeding people you love is the best gift you can give them! Especially when its fun creamy seafood! Who would you cook this for  Hope this recipe brings you happiness! Grateful for you all always!

    I had this with shrimp instead of mussels and it was superb. Despite it being easy to make, it had a lot of layers. The creamy sweetness of the coconut milk, the tanginess and spice from the curry, the crunch from the peanuts, the brightness from the lime, and the freshness from the mint made it seem like a very sophisticated dish. But even I was able to make it. Just be careful of the coconut milk curdling.
