Quick and Savory Mussels

 

½ can coconut milk

1 oz. cilantro, chopped

1 T. butter

½ tsp. garlic, chopped

½ tsp. fresh ginger, grated

2 cups fish broth or clam juice

½ cup shallots, chopped

1–2 kafir lime leaves (optional; could substitute ½ tsp. of a combination of lemon and lime zests)

2 lb. mussels, rinsed

 

Mix all ingredients besides mussels in a lidded sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add mussels, cover with lid, and simmer until all mussels open up (this happens quickly—just a few minutes).
