Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
3/4 cup coconut water
3/4 cup jasmati or other long-grain rice
Zest of 1 lime (removed with a vegetable peeler), plus wedges for serving
1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion or scallions
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 large egg
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top; coat with cooking spray. Combine 1 cup water, the coconut water, rice and lime zest in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer 8 minutes. Remove from the heat; add the carrots, red onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper (do not stir). Cover and let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork to combine. Discard the lime zest.

Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, then the coconut-panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere; transfer to the prepared rack. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn on the broiler. Broil the shrimp until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cilantro to the rice mixture and toss. Serve with the shrimp and lime wedges.

EASY THAI COCONUT SHRIMP AND RICE



Easy Thai Coconut Shrimp and Rice image

Inspired by Dave Lieberman's Spicy Coconut Shrimp but simplified/modified to work for my family. I'll start the rice and then pull the marinating shrimp out of the fridge and the timing seems to work for me. I serve this with Grilled Pineapple Salad Recipe #243135, but it is good with any tropical fruit salad.

Categories     Curries

Time 4h30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb peeled deveined shrimp (raw)
1/2 cup chopped roasted poblano pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 cup jasmine rice or 1 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon crushed pineapple

Steps:

  • A note on ingredients: a small can of diced green chiles works fine. The original recipe called for 2 seeded chopped jalapeños, so I think any hot pepper would work. I use the pre-cleaned frozen shrimp and they are fine for this recipe, you don't need anything fancy. If I am making pineapple salad, I use fresh pineapple in this recipe. Otherwise, I use canned crushed pineapple.
  • Start by placing the shrimp in a large self-close bag or medium glass bowl. Add the peppers, garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, and coconut milk. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil, salt, onions, and bell peppers. Cook until vegetables become slightly soft, but not browned.
  • Turn heat up to high and place the shrimp (not the marinade, just the shrimp) in the skillet. Sauté, turning once, until shrimp are just slightly browned on the outside and turning pink. You want them slightly undercooked.
  • Remove shrimp, onions, and peppers from the skillet. Pour the marinade into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Boil it for 5 minutes. This is long enough to cook the "shrimp juice" that got into the marinade and also to thicken the sauce.
  • Turn the heat off. Add the shrimp mixture back to the skillet. Add the basil and green onions. Toss to combine. Serve immediately over rice.
  • Rice:.
  • In a small covered saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, and stock (or water). Use up the rest of the can of coconut milk, and add enough additional liquid to total 1.5 cups.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Cook covered. Simmer for 12-15 minutes. Add pineapple. Fluff with a fork.

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND CORN



Coconut Rice With Shrimp and Corn image

This summery, one-pot dish has everything you need: fresh shrimp nestled in creamy coconut rice, with pops of summer corn and basil. Lime cuts through the richness and adds some bright tartness. To easily shave corn kernels off the cob, lay your cob flat on your cutting board. With a chef's knife, lob off one side. Rotate the cob so that the flat side is on the cutting board and repeat, running around all four sides. Frozen wild shrimp is an excellent weeknight staple, as it thaws and cooks quickly. You can always keep it on hand and thaw just as much as you need, which ensures optimal freshness.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, fresh (from 2 cobs) or frozen
1 lime, zested, then sliced into wedges
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot, heat coconut oil over medium. Add the onion, ginger and jalapeño and season with the 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the rice and sauté for another minute. Then stir in the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer but avoid scorching.
  • Stir in the shrimp and corn, cover again, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is cooked through and the rice is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (Add more water by 1/2 cups throughout cooking as needed if the water has been absorbed, but the rice is still too firm.)
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the lime zest and basil; season to taste with salt. Serve immediately with lime wedges and topped with more basil.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups well-stirred unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat; from a 13 1/2- to 14-oz can)

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • Rinse rice in a sieve under cold water, then shake well to drain and transfer to a 1 1/2-to 2-quart heavy saucepan. Add water (1 1/2 cups), sugar, 1 cup coconut milk, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, partially covered, then reduce heat to low and cover completely. Cook 20 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

  • Heat a 12- to 14-inch well-seasoned flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke, then add oil, swirling to coat.

Add shrimp mixture and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Stir cornstarch mixture, then pour it down side of wok and boil, stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened and shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Fluff rice with a fork and serve with shrimp immediately.

GINGER-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK



Ginger-Garlic Shrimp With Coconut Milk image

Fresh ingredients and bold condiments do the heavy lifting here, creating a fragrant 20-minute meal that will lure people into the kitchen, wondering what smells so good. Inspired by elements of Indian and Thai curries, the shrimp are coated in ginger, garlic and turmeric, then seared and braised in a combination of coconut milk and soy sauce. Spinach is stirred in for a bit of green, but you can substitute your favorite quick-cooking greens like bok choy or kale and adjust cooking time as needed. Swap the shrimp for scallops or white fish, if you like. Serve with rice, rice vermicelli noodles or naan to soak up the flavorful liquid.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
