Ingredients
5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter1 1⁄2 cup Jasmine Rice
14 ounces Coconut Milk
1 1⁄4 cup Water
1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
6 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 whole Green Onion (chopped)
3 tablespoons Lime Juice
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
Directions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute, just until the grains are coated. Transfer to a rice cooker. Stir in the coconut milk and water and turn the rice cooker on.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lime juice, and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant and bubbling.
- Add shrimp to the skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes, watching closely and flipping the shrimp as soon as they are pink and opaque on one side.
- Cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. As soon as the shrimp are cooked through, turn off the heat and sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.
- When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork, scoop portions onto plates, and top with the shrimp. Add spoonfuls of the garlic-butter sauce, and garnish with additional cilantro and lime zest, if desired.
