Coconut Flavored Shrimp Fried Rice Food

SPICY SHRIMP FRIED COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Bring coconut milk, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, water, butter, and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in rice. Return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until liquid has been absorbed and rice is fluffy, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for an additional 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork. Let cool in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons chicken broth, 1 1/2 tablespoons chili oil, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set sauce mixture aside.
• Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Pour in eggs; scramble to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat olive oil and remaining 1/2 tablespoon chili oil in the same non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Return scrambled eggs to the skillet and add cooked shrimp, peas, and green onions. Cook and stir over medium heat until peas are tender, about 3 minutes. Add cooked and cooled rice; cook and stir until rice is heated through, about 5 minutes. Pour in sauce mixture and toss to coat. Let sit, covered, on low heat to allow rice to absorb sauce flavor, about 10 minutes.

EASY THAI COCONUT SHRIMP AND RICE

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.

Then season the mixture with 1 chicken boullion cube, curry powder, thyme, salt to taste, pepper to taste and stir again. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Bring the mixture to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the rice to the coconut milk mixture and stir. Then leave the rice to cook for 15-20 minutes or until nealry done. Check the rice every 7-10 minutes and add more water if necessary.
• While the rice cooks prepare the shrimp and veggies. Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Then, heat a splash of coconut oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot add the shrimp and cook on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside for later.
• Next, add more coconut oil to the same pan and once the oil is hot add onions and cook for a few minutes. Next add the mixed veggies, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5-7 minutes. Once the veggies are ready set them aside for later.
• Add the veggies and shrimp to the pot of rice and stir until well combined. Leave the coconut fried rice to simmer for 2-5 minutes until the rice is soft and fluffy.
