Coconut Rice With Scallions Peanuts And Shrimp Recipes

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the pot on medium heat and melt 1 tsp of coconut oil. Turn off the heat.
• Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and agave nectar to the pan/pot and mix until combined. Add the rice into the pot and make sure it's evenly distributed under the liquid mixture.
• Seal the lid on your pressure cooker and pressure cook on low pressure for 12 minutes or just use the rice setting on an Instant Pot.
• Release the pressure and give the rice a stir to have any excess liquid absorbed. Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the rice to a plate to cool a bit before serving. NOTE: I prefer letting it sit 10 minutes before eating it because it tends to be more flavorful when it's not piping hot.
• In a small bowl, combine the scallions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix until sauce is formed. If you like heat, feel free to add some chili flakes or sriracha!
• Dry the shrimp on all sides and season generously with salt on both sides.
• Season a skillet on medium-high heat. Pour the oil into the skillet and let it melt.
• Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp and cook for 2 min on each side until pink in color (no longer translucent) golden brown and fully cooked.
• Remove the pan from the heat and put the shrimp on top of the coconut rice. Drizzle scallion sauce on top. Top with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy immediately!

PEANUT SAUCE OVER SHRIMP SKEWERS AND RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, chile sauce, lime juice, vinegar, lemongrass paste, fish sauce and black pepper. Season with a pinch of salt. Add water to thin as needed. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• For the noodles: Heat a griddle pan on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler to high. Skewer 3 shrimp with two parallel skewers to make 4 skewers with 3 shrimp each. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the soy with the lime juice and zest; reserve half in a separate small bowl. Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
• Toss the noodles in a bowl with the sesame oil and the black and white sesame seeds. Arrange the rice noodles at the bottom of a serving bowl. Drizzle some of the peanut sauce on top. Top with the carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, daikon and scallions. Add the shrimp skewers to the bowl. Serve warm with a lime wedge and extra peanut sauce on the side.
