Adapted from a Rachael Ray recipe.
1/2 cup shredded coconut, sweetened
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 lb. frozen, cooked shrimp
3 cups fresh broccoli
1 green bell pepper
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. dried basil
lime juice
1) Toast coconut over medium heat in a saucepan until golden brown (stirring constantly once it starts to brown), about 5 minutes. Remove 1/2 for garnish.
2) To remaining coconut, add broth, rice, salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Let stand for five minutes and fluff with a fork.
3) While rice is cooking, heat oil over high heat in a large pan. Add the shrimp, broccoli, peppers, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
4) Add the soy sauce, basil, and mix well. Serve the shrimp and some sauce over the rice, and top with a squeeze of lime juice and reserved toasted coconut.
Tip -
The coconut rice is a delicious as a side dish! Just follow steps 1 and 2 to make the rice by itself and top it with the reserved coconut and a squirt of lime juice.
