Instructions
In a high-sided braising pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the scallions, and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.
Add the curry powder, and sauté an additional 30 seconds.
Add the water, peas, and mussels to the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and steam over medium heat until all mussels open, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the cream, and serve with warm naan.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Shellfish works really well with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. The Frank Family Vineyards Lewis Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 62 dollars per bottle.
