Thai Shrimp With Coconut Lime Rice
- Coconut Lime Rice
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 1/2 cups Jasmine Rice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- Shrimp and Zesty Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Dry Roasted Peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Minced Ginger
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 16-20 ct. Large Raw Shrimp
- 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.
- Add lime juice and lime zest to rice when cooked.
- 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.
- Saute shrimp in 1 TBS olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add sauce to skillet with shrimp until heated through. Serve over rice.
