Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups coconut cream Mae Ploy brand is my favorite
  • 2 stalks lemongrass smashed a bit with hand or back of a knife
  • 1 inch fresh ginger minced
  • 6 cloves garlic finely chopped

  • 1/2 lb mussels cleaned
  • 3 lbs clams cleaned
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  • Heat a grill (or oven) to 450 (medium high). In a bowl whisk together everything but the clams, mussels, basil, and lemon juice. Put the clams and mussels in a small cast iron pot and pour the mix over top. Grill for 45-60 minutes. If using the oven, plan for 30-45 minutes.
  • Remove from grill, add the fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon juice, toss to coat. Enjoy with grilled garlic bread.
