A Tale of Two Recipes
I’ve been traveling a lot, but a few weeks ago I revisited my Shrimp Basil Ginger Curry Recipe and I made this instead: Mussels, with Basil and Ginger Curry. I marvel at how the same ingredients can taste and look so different with the substitution of the main ingredient.

I thought, it was the perfect recipe to share with others. Here is my interpretation of their recipe. Quick, vegan, but so full of mouth-watering flavor. Healthy has never tasted better.
