Instructions

In a large, heavy saucepan over medium high heat, stir together the butter and rice wine until hot. Add garlic and ginger, stirring 1 minute. Add all remaining ingredients except for mussels. Whisk to combine well and loosen any clumps.
Add mussels and bring liquid to a simmer; cover and simmer about 5 minutes or just until mussels have opened; watch carefully and don't overcook. As soon as mussels have opened up, transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro. Serve with plenty of rustic bread.
