JENNY TAUGHT ME HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP COCONUT RICE

Since the first time I tasted this delicacy, it has not left my mind. I tried to prepare it for myself and it didn’t come out the way I tasted it. I have been searching for easy way out. This time I got it. Thanks to Jenny…she taught me how to prepare the shrimp coconut rice. Let me not be stingy with what I learnt… I will share it with you.

INGREDIENTS

·         Coconut milk

·         2 cups of rice (I prefer basmati rice)

·         200g Fresh shrimps

·         1 cup of Meat Stock

·         Seasonings

·         Salt

·         1 green and red pepper each

·         Chopped vegetables (diced carrots and spring onions)

·         Onions

·         Vegetable oil (or butter)

PREPARATION

·         Wash and rinse the rice properly, then put rice in a pot. Add enough water and allow to parboil. After parboiling put aside.

·       Pour the coconut milk in a pot; add the parboiled rice, meat stock, shrimps, salt and seasonings. Cover the pot and allow to cook for 15mins.

·     While the rice is cooking, heat of vegetable oil (2 tablespoons) on a frying pan and add the chopped vegetables (green and red peppers, diced carrots and spring onions. You can add cabbage and tomatoes if you want). Then stir-fry for 5mins.

·      The rice would have absorbed the meat stock and coconut milk. Then, add the stir-fried vegetables into the coconut rice and mix. Cook for another 5mins. Then bring it down.

·         Ready to eat. I like it with chilled watermelon juice.
