Ingredients

  • •1 lb frozen shrimp, thawed
  • •2 cups jasmine rice, cooked and cooled
  • •1/2 cup coconut milk
  • •1 cup frozen peas
  • •3 cloves garlic, minced
  • •3 tbsp soy sauce
  • •2 tbsp butter

Directions

  1. 1Cook rice ahead and let it cool completely.
  2. 2Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat.
  3. 3Add garlic and shrimp, cook 2 minutes until pink.
  4. 4Push shrimp aside, add rice and fry 3 minutes.
  5. 5Pour in coconut milk and soy sauce, stir well.

💡 Add coconut milk to fried rice sparingly; too much liquid destroys the dry-grain texture and turns shrimp rice into a soft pilaf.
