Allergens

Shellfish (shrimp), Nuts (peanuts)

Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice (gluten
• free)
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
• Optional: chili flakes for serving

Instructions

1. Combine jasmine rice, water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
2. In a large non stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add shrimp, season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
4. Stir in cooked rice, coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, lime zest, and lime juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is heated through and the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
5. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and chili flakes if desired.
