Mussels with Coconut Curry Sauce

My sister and I are weird. We love to watch cooking shows that feature shellfish because when clams or mussels or oysters are stirred, they make a clinkety clankety sound that's lovely. I told you, weird. So I was very excited to try mussels for the first time yesterday! We found a recipe with a coconut curry broth and it was delightful. Next time, and I will make this again, I would cut back on the lemon juice by a tablespoon and I would add some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Otherwise, delicious. Here's the recipe.

Sauteing in butter and curry...


Simmering in white wine, lemon juice and coconut milk...
