Coconut Milk Shrimp Recipe

Hi Angels Working on Earth Family!

Wishing you all a happy and soulful Sunday! I’m feeling absolutely wonderful today. Last week, I tried making a pork roast coconut dish and it turned out to be a real hit! I’m still in a coconut kind of mood and I found a fantastic recipe that I am trying out today!

I made some tweaks to the measurements and tasted it as I went along, adding a little more or less, to get it just right. I really enjoy experimenting with different recipes and coming up with something new and exciting.

It’s always fun to switch things up and surprise your taste buds!

DIRECTIONS

To prepare the shrimp, start by tossing it in a bowl with olive oil, honey, garlic, ginger, red chili flakes, and salt. Avoid adding salt to the shrimp, instead, add it to the sauce. Allow the shrimp to marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes. 

If you prefer butter, melt it over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. However, if you prefer a different cooking fat, feel free to substitute it. Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the hot butter and cook it for 1-2 minutes per side or until it turns pink. Since the shrimp will be raw inside, drain the pan before adding more butter. Finish it off by sprinkling some parsley and serve with your choice of pasta or rice. 

To make the sauce, reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Add shallots, white parts of scallions, and chili flakes. Cook until fragrant. Stir in coconut milk and fish sauce, and season with salt to taste. Simmer until it thickens. 

Stir in lime zest, juice, and shrimp. Simmer until the shrimp is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Add green parts of scallions and cilantro to the sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Love!
