COCONUT-LIME SHRIMP



Coconut-Lime Shrimp image

You can make this gingery, lightly sweet shrimp stew as tangy and spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chile and lime juice. Using full-fat coconut milk gives you the richest and most flavorful dish. But light coconut milk will also work, resulting in something brothier and more souplike. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. As soon as they turn pink, they're done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a more delicate flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw it properly before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or for up to 24 hours.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: The quality of the coconut milk you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a coconut milk that is thick and creamy.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes can add flavor and texture to the dish. You can also add leafy greens such as spinach or kale.
  • Serve with rice: Spicy shrimp in coconut milk is traditionally served with rice. You can also serve it with other grains such as quinoa or couscous.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp in coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to enjoy the flavors of the Caribbean or Southeast Asia.
