Ingredients:

Serving

1 shallot, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 stalk lemongrass, cut into 3-in. pieces and crushed with a mallet or hammer
1 can (about 14 oz.) coconut milk
2 tbsp thai red curry paste
2 tbsp thai or vietnamese fish sauce
1 tbsp packed light brown sugar
3 lb mussels , scrubbed and beards* pulled off
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil leaves, plus slivered leaves
2 limes, cut into wedges

Directions:

Sauté shallot and garlic in oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until very fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add lemongrass and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Pour in coconut milk, then stir in curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
Add mussels, stir until well coated, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels open, 5 minutes. Stir in chopped basil and spoon into wide, shallow bowls, discarding any unopened mussels. Garnish with slivered basil and serve with lime.
*Find curry paste in your market's Asian-foods aisle. A mussel's beard is the clump of filaments it uses to attach itself to rocks.
