Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice quick-cooking
- 14 oz coconut milk lite
- 2 1/4 cups chicken stock low-sodium
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp canola oil divided
- 2 lbs Shrimp large
- 3 tbsp ginger minced
- 3 tbsp garlic minced cloves
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
- 3 green onion sliced
Instructions
- Rinse rice under colder water. Add rice, coconut milk, chicken stock, and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook on low until rice is fluffy, about 15 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar, coconut, and 2 sliced green onions to the rice. Toss and season with salt and pepper.
- Season shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet to a medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of oil. Add shrimp. Cook until bright pink and starting to curl. Remove from skillet. Set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add garlic and ginger. Sweat the aromatics until fragrant and they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add in soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, and vinegar. Whisk to combine. Bring to a boil and cook until thick and sticky, about 3-4 minutes. If needed, reduce the heat to a simmer. Keep warm until rice is finished cooking.
- Once the rice finishes cooking, add shrimp and green onions to the sauce. Toss until coated. Serve the shrimp over rice. Spoon sauce on top. Garnish with green onion.
