Garlic Lime Shrimp with Coconut Rice

butter (divided)

jasmine rice (uncooked)

coconut milk

water

garlic

lime juice (from 2-3 limes)

salt

onions

cilantro (chopped)

First, start the rice. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rice and cook for 30-60 seconds, just until the grains are coated. Stir in the coconut milk and water, and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook about 20 minutes, just until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

While the rice cooks, make the shrimp. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lime juice, and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant and bubbling.

Add shrimp to the skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes, watching closely and flipping the shrimp with tongs as soon as they are pink and opaque on one side. Cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. As soon as the shrimp are cooked through, turn off the heat and sprinkle with green onions and a bit of cilantro.

When the rice is tender, fluff it with a fork, scoop portions onto plates, and top with the shrimp. Add spoonfuls of the garlic-butter sauce, and garnish with additional cilantro and lime zest, as desired.

A perfect weeknight dinner! I only had about 30 minutes to cook and enlisted my three kids to help. We got it done in no time and everyone loved the meal. I increased the servings to "6" for my family of 5 and we polished it off. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular rotation. Thank you!

Yummy- for 2 of us I halved the recipe and it was perfect. I’ll use the rice preparation for other recipes. Thanks,

Peeled and pre-cooked frozen shrimp is one of my favorite freezer staples for so many yummy fast meals! Love it with this coconut rice recipe.

I had a similar dish at a restaurant and wanted to make a slightly healthier version at home. This was fantastic!

I love the flavors you have with this shrimp! Cannot wait to make it!

What a lovely and flavorful combination. Drooling over this!!

Perfect easy weeknight dinner.  I used to be so afraid to use frozen shrimp bc I didn't feel like I thawed it correctly but it really is just as easy as you say.  It's a healthy protein  that my kids love!
