Ingredients:
Shrimp: Fresh or thawed frozen shrimp work best. Choose large or jumbo for the best texture.
Coconut Milk: Full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk for a rich and creamy sauce.
Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
Ginger and Garlic: Use freshly grated ginger and minced garlic.
Olive oil: Or substitute with coconut oil.
Coconut Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness.
Fish Sauce: Enhances the umami flavor.
Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a mild heat; adjust to taste.
Method:
Prepare the Shrimp: Devein and peel the shrimp. You can leave the tail on if you prefer.
Marinate: Toss the shrimp with olive oil, honey, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 5-15 minutes.
Cook the Shrimp: Transfer the shrimp from the bowl to a large skillet over medium-high heat using a slotted spoon. Set the marinade aside; you will use it later. Cook the shrimp until pink and slightly crispy.
Make the Sauce: Add the reserved marinade, butter, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp starts to get a bit crispy from the browned butter. Stir frequently.
Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Thicken the Sauce: Create a cornstarch slurry and stir it into the sauce until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Serve over rice and garnish with diced green onions and lime wedges. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
Steamed Rice: Make Instant Pot Jasmine rice or Basmati rice to soak up the delicious coconut sauce.
Cauliflower Rice: A great low-carb option.
