Coconut Shrimp Over Rice

I love Coconut and I love Shrimp, put them together and I am in heaven!  I have made coconut shrimp when you baked the coconut on the shrimp, and although delicious, it takes forever. This way is so much easier and equally delicious!  

Creamy Coconut Shrimp Over Rice

Here is how to make it!  Place the Frozen, Pre-cooked shrimp in a strainer and put under hot water for about 5 minutes to help it thaw. Start your rice at this time. Make according to package.

Once mostly thawed, saute in a pan with 2 tablespoons Olive Oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar and stir for 3 minutes until Coconut is getting soft.  

Add one can of coconut milk, and 4 heaping tablespoons of Ultra Gel. If you don’t know what UltraGel is you can buy it in the canning section, or you can also use cornstarch. But I love Ultragel. It thickens sauces hot or cold, and is very easy to use. 

(Cornaby’s Ultra Gel – Instant, Gluten-Free, non-GMO Food Thickener for Cooking and Canning)

Next add 2 cups peas and place lid on pot. 

Let simmer for 5 – 7 minutes. 

Place Sweetend Coconut on baking sheet and place in oven on 350 mixing every minute so it doesn’t burn. This will take about 5-7 minutes until it become brown and crispy. 

Layer rice, Shrimp Sauce and Coconut and Enjoy!
