Instructions

Scrub and clean mussels. Toss and mussels with cracked shells and tap any mussels with open shells. If the shell doesn’t respond by closing tightly, toss it (this means the mussel is dead).
In a wide bottomed stockpot* over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic until fragrant, about 3 minutes and then add coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, broth, lime juice and salt. Simmer broth for about 5 minutes.
Add mussels to the stockpot and give them a big stir to coat. Increase heat, cover and boil broth until the mussels open, about 6 minutes. Grab bowls, add zucchini noodles to each and use tongs to transfer mussels to each bowl. Discard any mussels that do not open. Spoon some broth into each bowl, sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
