Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 limes, zested and juiced
3 4- to 6-inch lemon grass stalks, ends removed and coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
1 ½ pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (10 ounce) package shelled, cooked edamame
1 (6 ounce) package snow peas

Steps:

  • Combine coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, lemon grass, garlic, and shallot in a blender. Puree until smooth.
  • Refrigerate 1 1/4 cups of the puree for later use. Pour the rest into a large bowl; add shrimp. Cover and refrigerate until shrimp is marinated, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Bring brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan while shrimp marinate. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add edamame and snow peas; saute until tender but still crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the 1 1/4 cups of reserved puree and bring to a simmer.
  • Add shrimp and marinade to the sauce in the skillet; cook until shrimp are firm and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve over the cooked rice.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra chili peppers and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the rice was too dry.
