Steamed mussels and shrimp

If you're a seafood lover, I think you will like this recipe. Make sure you head to your local seafood market and grab the freshest mussels you can find. Have a baguette ready to rip apart and dip into the juices and a bib because this might get a bit messy.

Ingredients
2-3 pounds mussels
6-8 large raw peeled shrimp
2 cups coconut milk
1 onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1/2 teaspoon red chili, diced
3 limes, juiced
1 tablespoon sugar
Fresh cilantro to taste

Method
Add oil in large skillet on medium heat. Throw in diced onion and garlic and let sweat for 2 minutes. Add red curry paste and mix well. After a few minutes add coconut milk, lime juice and sugar.

Stir and let simmer for a couple minutes. Then add tomato, red chilli, shrimp and mussels. Combine everything, and cover skillet to let mussels cook and open up - about 7-8 minute.

*discard mussels that do not open!
