In a very large stockpot over high temperature, heat the shallots, garlic, ginger, wine, coconut milk, lime juice, and basil just to a boil. Add the mussels. Cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any that have not opened after 10 minutes.

Remove the mussels from the pan with a slotted spoon and distribute them among 4 bowls. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste, adding chile oil if you prefer a spicier taste.

Pour the broth over the mussels and serve hot.

Serves four.
