Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, honey, sriracha, and soy sauce to the pan and bring it to a boil. Let it boil, stirring several times, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat so the sauce is simmering gently.
  3. Add the shrimp to the pan and let them cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cilantro.

Notes

  • I like to serve this over coconut cauliflower rice for a complete meal. While the sauce is thickening, cook some riced cauliflower in a little coconut oil.
  • Or put on a pot of regular rice before you start cooking the shrimp.
