Going from an EC Private Key to Decrypting Traffic

At the moment I have an EC private key in my possession and also some traffic that was encrypted using the aforementioned private key. I have been trying to use OpenSSL to turn the private key into something Wireshark can work with. For example, going from the original:

-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
/* BASE 64 ENCODED *\
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----

To the following:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
/* BASE 64 ENCODED */
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Via the command:

openssl req -new -x509 -key private_key.pem -out server.pem -days 730

However Wireshark doesn't seem to enjoy this either. Is there a way to decrypt ECDSA traffic using wireshark?
