Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat grill to medium-high on one side and medium for the the other burners. Add olive oil to a medium cast-iron skillet and place it directly on the grill, on the medium-high side. Close the grill and allow the skillet to heat. When oil is shimmering, add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned around the edges. Add garlic and seasonings and saute for one more minute. Add the diced tomatoes, stir, and cover the grill for 4-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to cook and thicken. Add the coconut milk to the skillet, stir, and turn down heat to medium. Dump the mussels directly on the grill grates and close the cover. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until all the mussels have opened. Transfer to a large serving bowl and carefully pour the sauce over the mussels. Sprinkle with chopped mint or cilantro and serve immediately.
