Coconut Basmati Rice Shrimp
Next time I would love to try making it with brown rice. Not a fan of green beans or peas? Feel free to substitute with your favorite green veggies; asparagus, broccolini, bell peppers, etc…
Coconut Basmati Rice Shrimp
- Add 2/3 cup of coconut milk and 2 & 1/3 cups of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. After mixture starts to boil, add 1 & 1/2 tsp of salt.
- Next stir in rice, lower heat to a simmer and cover.
- Simmer until most of the liquid have been absorbed. This should take about 15 minutes.
- While you are waiting for the rice to cook, heat the remaining coconut milk in a skillet, over a medium heat.Whisk in the curry paste.
- Next, stir in green bean and peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Now add shrimp, stir and cook for 3-4 more minutes until shrimp is cooked through. Add the lime juice, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 more minute. Serve over coconut rice.

Curious about the curry paste, I’ll be looking for it on my next trip to the grocery store! My son has a trader joes near his house, I may have to get him to buy the coconut milk for me….this looks fantastic!!
Would the curry paste be hot? If so, what can I substitute for it?
No, curry paste usually isn’t spicy. They sell mild versions and hot versions.
