Servings & Nutrition
Original recipe serves 2. Current scale: 1x.
This is kind of a cross between Curried Thai Mussels and Belgian Mussels steamed in Witbier. When the recipe is done, serve it up in the pot with a ladle, traditionally, or thicken the sauce and toss it with pasta to add some carbs to the dish. This is designed for two, but can easily be multiplied for more people. Enjoy.
