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.

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.

THAI SHRIMP WITH COCONUT-ALMOND RICE



Thai Shrimp With Coconut-Almond Rice image

From the Food section of the Kansas City Star. This is really good. The only sauce I could find at my grocery store was Thai garlic-chili sauce, which is really good. And I don't toast the almonds. sigh. I'm a lazy chef. This goes well with Thai Sweet-And-Sour Cucumber Salad, Recipe #288002.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a briny smell, and use fresh coconut milk and almond milk for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and will help it to stay fluffy.

Conclusion:

This Thai Shrimp with Coconut Almond Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of shrimp, coconut milk, almond milk, and spices creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve it with a side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
