Very easy to make the curry sauce - I used 4 TBSP of a bottled Thai Red Curry sauce from Trader Joe's in place of the Thai ginger marinade and red curry paste and used light coconut milk (because it was all they had at the store.

Regarding the mussels - use ONLY fresh, NOT frozen. If they're frozen, they're no longer alive, and you need LIVE mussels to make this work! Many times, the person at the fish counter will select mussels for you - make sure he knows that you only want mussels that are tightly closed with no broken shells. Try and buy them just before you intend to use them. If you leave them in a sealed plastic bag for a long time after coming home from he store, they won't be able to breathe and will be dead by the time you're ready to use them! To make sure all of the sand and gunk are out of the mussels, let them sit in a bowl of cool water for about 20 minutes (while you're preparing the sauce. Then, make sure you go through the mussels to see if any are open already - this means they aren't alive and you'll want to toss them out. De-beard them before you put them in the pan too.

If you like mussels and Thai curry, you will absolutely love this recipe. The sauce is heavenly, so I recommend having slices of crusty French baguette on hand to soak up your bowl.

Thank you, Sandra!!

We thought these were great. Loved the sauce. Reading these reviews makes you realize everyone has different tastes for sure!! The last one said the sauce had no flavor and the next on said it was too sweet! It was not lacking in flavor or sweet to me!!!! Maybe we are born with different tastebuds?
