Green Curry Mussels Recipe
This easy one-pot meal is based around a flavorful Thai-style curry. We love it with mussels, but you can also try it with shrimp or your favorite white fish.
Did you know?
Shellfish like clams, oysters and mussels play an important role in making oceans cleaner. When farmed along the coast, they filter nitrogen and carbon out of the water while creating a habitat for other wild species. Because these farms require no feeds, fertilizers, or fresh water, they’re far more self-sustaining than land-based forms of agriculture. See more >>
Green Curry Mussels Recipe
What You’ll Need:
2 lb mussels
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp green curry paste
1 tbsp brown sugar, can substitute with white sugar
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 can coconut milk
Handful of basil
1 tsp lime zest (optional)
½ fresh chili, chopped (optional)
What to Do:
Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook for a few seconds. Add the green curry paste and brown sugar. Cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the fish sauce and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer for 3 minutes before adding the mussels. Cover and let steam until mussels open, a few minutes. Stir in a handful of basil and serve. For an extra kick, finish with grated lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped fresh chilis.
