Steamed Mussels

• 5 LBS fresh mussels, scrubbed & de-bearded

• 1/3 C lime juice

• 1 can (13.5 ozs.) unsweetened coconut milk

• 1/3 C dry white wine

• 1 TBS red curry paste

• 1 TBS minced garlic

• 1 TBS fish sauce

• 1 TBS sugar

• 2 C fresh cilantro, chopped

In a large cooking pot, combine lime juice, coconut milk, wine, curry paste, garlic, fish sauce and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar and curry paste; bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels are opened, about five to eight minutes. Remove cooking pot from heat. Discard unopened mussels. Pour mussels and liquid into a large platter; toss with chopped cilantro. Serve.
