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!

Yay!!!!!! Soooo happy to hear that!!! It is my favorite fast comfort food dinner!!! Happy Happy Cooking! With Gratitude Jason!!
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.
This is one of my fave recipes to make. I am sooo happy you liked it. You made my day! With Super Gratitude Jason
