Thai Shrimp With Coconut Lime Rice

  1. Bring water and coconut milk to a boil. Stir in rice. rnrn*The original recipe called for 2 cups of water, but 3 cups of fluid to 1 cup of rice seemed excessive to me. It also called for salt, but because of the lime I found that the extra flavor and sodium wasn't necessary.
  2. Add lime juice and lime zest to rice when cooked.
  3. Process cilantro, peanuts, ginger, garlic, salt, red pepper (I like to use Korean red pepper flakes because it's more finely ground and doesn't contain seeds), honey, lime juice, and 2 TBS olive oil in food processor until smooth.rnrn*If you process it until smooth, it has the consistency of a pesto. I prefer my sauce to be a little chunky; to achieve this, I just don't scrape down the sides while processing. I also made the sauce a little drier than the original recipe by adding only 2 TBS of olive oil as opposed to 3 TBS.
  4. Saute shrimp in 1 TBS olive oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add sauce to skillet with shrimp until heated through. Serve over rice.
