  1. Cook the rice according to the instructions in the package, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. While rice is cooking, cook the other ingredients. Start by whisking together soy sauce, ginger powder, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat both the coconut oil and vegetable or peanut oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes or just until turning pink; season with salt and pepper to taste and place on a plate or in a bowl using a slotted spoon.
  4. Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and cook over medium-low to medium heat, stirring often, until vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut flakes and then the cubes of mango and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the reserved soy sauce mixture and let heat for about 1 minute. Then add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in the cooked shrimp and adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cilantro/parsley. Serve the shrimp coconut fried rice immediately.
