Coconut Jasmine Rice

Creamy Coconut Shrimp Dinner Crispy Coconut Shrimp • Coconut Jasmine Rice • Tropical Lime Slaw

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups jasmine rice

• 1 can (13.5 oz) unsweetened coconut milk

• 1¼ cups water

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 tsp sugar (optional)

• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

• 1–2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear.

2. Add rice, coconut milk, water, salt, butter and optional sugar to a pot.

3. Bring to a gentle boil.

4. Stir once, cover and reduce heat to low.

5. Cook about 15 minutes.

6. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

7. Fluff with a fork.

8. Stir in lime juice and cilantro if using.

9. Tip: Don’t make the rice too sweet. The shrimp sauce already has some sweetness, so you want the rice to be creamy and lightly coconutty.
