Taking a very large saucepan, heat shallots and celery in the oil until soft. Add garlic and fry for 1 minute.
Add the mussels, shaking to coat them in the mixture, pour in the wine and coconut milk and cover the pan.
Cook for 4 minutes (or until they've opened).
Strain (keeping the sauce and juices from the mussels) and remove the mussels, putting them to one side.
Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and boil it for about 5 minutes, reducing by a third. Season if required (you may not need to do this as the sauce is already rather salty).
Replace the mussels in the sauce and toss, serving in a big bowl. Accompany with a freshly baked baguette for that added French style!
