try shelling the shrimp beforehand and make a shrimp stock to use instead of/in combo with veg stock. heat oil till almost smoking, add shells, and some onion and red pepper flakes. sear the shells and lightly brown the onions, then add a little pureed tomato and water to cover shells by a half inch. simmer gently for 20m. strain cool and use in that soop.

Curry recipe plz.

mmm I'll try that! Thanks for the suggestion.


I found this on Steamy Kitchen and it is also a favorite. I recommend some bread to dip in the sauce. If there is any leftover I pick the meat out of the mussels and discard the shells and serve it over rice the next day. I've subbed chicken when mussels looked iffy at the market, and while good, it's not as good as the original.

Steamed Mussels With Lemongrass Coconut Curry

2.5- to 3-lbs mussels, scrubbed & picked through (discard cracked shells and ones that don’t close when tapped)
1 stalk of lemongrass, white part grated with microplane grater
2 bottles of clam juice
1 can (14oz) of good coconut milk, shake the can vigorously to mix the fat with the liquid
Thai curry paste (Meseri brand, small red can)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
3 small skeins of mung bean noodles, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes.
chopped scallions & chili for topping


In a wok or large pot, turn heat to medium. When wok is hot but not smoking, add 2 tbl curry paste and the lemongrass. Fry for 30 seconds to release its flavors.

Add the clam juice, fish sauce, sugar and coconut milk. Simmer for 3 minutes. Taste the broth. If you want more heat, add more curry paste. In meantime, drain your mung bean noodles. The noodles should still be a little stiff.

Turn heat to high and add your mussels. Immediately cover with tight fitting lid. Steam on high for 5 minutes or so.

Open lid, scootch the mussels to one side, add mung bean noodles and cook for another couple minutes uncovered.

Use a large spoon to redistribute the mussels from the top to the bottom of the broth, cook another minute and it’s done.

Top with chopped chilies and scallion.
