INGREDIENTS

3 pounds Canadian Cove mussels

1 (15oz) can coconut cream

2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste

1/2 lime, juice only

1 cup chopped cilantro

Kosher salt

2 shallots, finely sliced

1/4 cup flour

Vegetable oil for shallow frying

2 limes, cut into wedges

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
Rinse the mussels under cold running water. Discard any mussels with broken shells. Combine lime juice, curry paste, cilantro and 2 tablespoons of coconut cream in a blender. Process until smooth and you have a bright green puree. Set aside. Set a large pot over high heat. Once it is hot dump in the mussels then add the plain coconut cream. Cover and boil for 10 minutes until the mussels open. When done remove the lid, add the green curry puree and mix well. While the mussels are steaming prepare the shallot garnish. Slice shallot into thin circles. Toss in seasoned flour to lightly coat then shallow fry in oil until crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle on top of the mussels just before serving.
