Coconut Rice With Scallions Peanuts And Shrimp Recipes

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the pot on medium heat and melt 1 tsp of coconut oil. Turn off the heat.
• Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and agave nectar to the pan/pot and mix until combined. Add the rice into the pot and make sure it's evenly distributed under the liquid mixture.
• Seal the lid on your pressure cooker and pressure cook on low pressure for 12 minutes or just use the rice setting on an Instant Pot.
• Release the pressure and give the rice a stir to have any excess liquid absorbed. Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the rice to a plate to cool a bit before serving. NOTE: I prefer letting it sit 10 minutes before eating it because it tends to be more flavorful when it's not piping hot.
• In a small bowl, combine the scallions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix until sauce is formed. If you like heat, feel free to add some chili flakes or sriracha!
• Dry the shrimp on all sides and season generously with salt on both sides.
• Season a skillet on medium-high heat. Pour the oil into the skillet and let it melt.
• Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp and cook for 2 min on each side until pink in color (no longer translucent) golden brown and fully cooked.
• Remove the pan from the heat and put the shrimp on top of the coconut rice. Drizzle scallion sauce on top. Top with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy immediately!

COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice a few times, until the water that drains away runs almost completely clear.
• Put in a medium, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat with coconut milk, water, sugar and salt. When the liquid comes up to a boil, give it a good stir, scraping the bottom of the pot. Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low.
• Cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 10 minutes. Mix gently with a flexible rubber spatula. Taste, season with salt and serve.

SHRIMP WITH COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Place coconut milk in a 2-cup measure; add enough water to measure 2 cups. In a 2-qt. microwave-safe baking dish, combine rice, 1 tablespoon butter, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and coconut milk mixture. Microwave, uncovered, on high until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20-25 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining butter over medium-high heat; saute shrimp until pink, 5-7 minutes. Stir in pepper and remaining salt., Stir green onions into rice. Serve with shrimp and lime wedges.

JASMINE RICE WITH PEANUTS AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Wash rice in several changes of cold water in a bowl until water is almost clear, then drain rice well in a sieve. Bring rice, water, and broth to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in peanuts and scallion greens.

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND CORN

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.
