The sweetness of coconut milk with the zest of lime and the spiciness of the jalapeno gives it the most unique flavor!
This dish is a must try and definitely goes great over some wild rice and if you are watching carbs then cauliflower rice for the win!
INGREDIENTS
1.33 lbs. raw shrimp
3/4 cup light canned coconut milk
1 tbsp. ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp. cilantro
1 tsp. lime zest
1 tbsp. lime juice
Salt and pepper
1 jalapeno (or Serrano or Thai chili pepper)
DIRECTIONS
Combine the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, salt, pepper, and chili peppers if using. Add the shrimp and marinate for 30-60 minutes. If you marinate much longer than that, the shrimp will begin to cook from the lime juice.
After you marinate the shrimp, you can cook them anyway you like. They can be grilled for 2-3 minutes per side, cooked in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes until cooked through, or poached in the marinating liquid for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. They are also delicious on skewers.
SERVE with jasmine rice or cauliflower rice
