Remove lid and fluff with a fork. Let cool in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.

SPICY COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO BASIL SALSA AND LIME JASMINE RICE
I marinate the shrimp in a sweet and spicy coconut milk marinade then I cook them in a dry pan. The salsa finishes it off with more sweetness and heat. Basil keeps the tongue awake through it all.

Steps:
- For the salsa: Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make up to a day in advance. Keep covered in the refrigerator.
- For the shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine jalapenos, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, coconut milk, basil, vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours, refridgerated.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Use tongs or a fork to remove the shrimp from the marinade and place in an even layer in the pan, reserving the marinade.
- Cook the shrimp until well browned on each side, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer cooked shrimp to a serving plate.
- Add reserved marinade to pan, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour over the cooked shrimp and serve with Lime Jasmine Rice and Mango Salsa.

EASY THAI COCONUT SHRIMP AND RICE
Inspired by Dave Lieberman's Spicy Coconut Shrimp but simplified/modified to work for my family. I'll start the rice and then pull the marinating shrimp out of the fridge and the timing seems to work for me. I serve this with Grilled Pineapple Salad Recipe #243135, but it is good with any tropical fruit salad.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have sambal oelek, you can substitute another type of chili paste or sauce, such as sriracha or harissa.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the spicy shrimp fried coconut rice immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and steaming.
- Garnish the rice with chopped cilantro or green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This spicy shrimp fried coconut rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and tasty meal. The combination of spicy shrimp, creamy coconut milk, and fragrant jasmine rice is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy shrimp, give this recipe a try!
