How to Make Mussels Steamed In Coconut Milk Lime And Cilantro
- Clean mussels thoroughly, discarding any that are open and don't close when tapped.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine coconut milk (1 can, 13.5 oz), lime juice (2 tablespoons), fish sauce (1 tablespoon), brown sugar (1 teaspoon), and minced garlic (2 cloves).
- Bring the coconut milk mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the mussels to the pot and cover. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened and their shells are slightly ajar.
- Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Stir in chopped cilantro (1/4 cup) and remove from heat.
- Serve immediately with crusty garlic bread for dipping. Garnish with extra lime wedges and cilantro, if desired.
