Steps:
- Keep the mussels refrigerated until you're ready to use. Once ready, place them in a large bowl of ice cold water. Scrub the outsides of the mussels and remove the string (or "beard") by using a towel or paper towel to pull it out. Discard any mussels that have opened already. Keep the mussels in the ice water.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once it's melted, stir in the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Stir in the curry paste and continue to stir until it's distributed throughout the entire pan of onions. Cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and stock, stirring until it's smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the mussels and toss. Cover the skillet and cook just until the mussels open, about 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with the sliced green onions. Stir the mussels well so the broth makes it into the shells. Serve immediately with baguettes or thin fries.

Tips:
- To ensure the mussels are fresh, give them a gentle squeeze before cooking. If they close tightly, they are alive and safe to eat. Discard any mussels that remain open after squeezing.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the mussels. This will provide enough space for the mussels to open and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot with mussels. If there are too many mussels, they will not cook evenly and may not open properly.
- Use a dry white wine for the cooking liquid. This will help to enhance the flavor of the mussels.
- Add aromatics such as garlic, shallots, and lemongrass to the cooking liquid to infuse the mussels with flavor.
- Add a touch of heat to the dish with chili peppers or Sriracha sauce. This will help to balance the sweetness of the coconut milk.
- Serve the mussels immediately after cooking. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
