Ingredients
All Steps
Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear. Cook rice according to package directions, typically 1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water. Set aside once cooked.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes until it starts to soften.
Pour in the full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the simmering coconut sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Serve the creamy coconut shrimp immediately over the cooked jasmine rice.
