Directions:

In a large, heavy-based skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and onion and saute over moderate heat, stirring often, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the salt, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne; stir to distribute the spices evenly. Cook the spices for about 1 minute.

Add the broth or stock, the coconut milk, and the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add the mussels or clams. Cover the pan until the shellfish open, about 5 to 8 minutes. (Discard any mussels or clams that don't open after cooking.) Serve with your favorite rice or noodles.
