Baked shrimp coconut rice

Baked Shrimp Coconut rice

Just what we need on a ” I don’t want to be in the kitchen for too long” day.  A delicious bowl of rice. Bake, bake , bake. That’s the new thing in my house. You can bake anything and it locks in those wonderful flavors even better. The easiest, quickest and least involved cooking method for me once I get everything going.

This Flavorful rice dish is comfort food for lazy cold days. The aroma the moment that skillet comes out of your oven will usher everyone to the dinner table in no time. It’s also the perfect party food not only because of its simplicity but it will also save you a burner.

Coconut and shrimp! Is there a better pair? They work so great together. You can use seafood broth in place of water. My decision to keep the shrimp shells really helped strengthen the shrimp essence even more. After peeling , they were thoroughly rinsed and added together with the shrimp when cooking.

Like most of  my recipes, there is always room for substitutes. Vegan? Forget the shrimp, directions stay pretty much the same and you are good to go. You can use tofu or tempeh. Another great substitute could be chicken. Dice some boneless chicken thighs and throw them in place of the shrimp. You don’t have to remove the chicken before baking in this case.

Wanting dinner ready in under 45 minutes? Then this simple baked shrimp coconut rice is for you. It is a crowd pleaser and a keeper for sure. Adding this dish to your recipe collection will definitely serve you right.
