Mussels in coconut milk
Description
The vibrant combination of coconut flavor and seafood will impress everyone. You can use mussels in shells or frozen mussels, adding them to the pan directly from frozen. For those who enjoy spicier flavors, we recommend slicing a small chili pepper (without seeds) and adding it to the sauce.

Peel the onion and wash it together with the green onion, then chop both into small cubes. If possible, substitute the onion with leek. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 2–3 minutes until slightly browned, but do not overcook.

Step 3
Add the mussels. You can use either thawed seafood or mussels in their shells. The main thing is to thoroughly rinse the shells to remove sand and discard any that are open — they are no longer suitable.

Step 4
Taste the coconut milk first to determine how much salt to add, as some brands sweeten the product. Pour the milk into a container, add salt and pepper. Simmer the dish for about 3-5 minutes. Keep in mind that frozen mussels have already been cooked, so they should take no more than 3-5 minutes to prepare.
