Garlic Butter Shrimp with Toasted Coconut Rice

This meal is in the running for what I would select as my concluding repast ever. I have always LOVED garlic butter shrimp inwards whatever course, together with rice as well, because carbs. My dad e'er joked with me growing upwards that “I was going to plow into a shrimp.” Hahah. True statement. This is ane of the simplest meals int the earth, simply soooo freaking flavorful as well as amazing.

I added fifty-fifty more season to the shrimp past adding tons of garlic (duh), lemon AND lime juice, as well as parsley and cilantro. And cerise pepper flakes for a tiny scrap of estrus. It really is the nigh perfect combination of flavors.

The toasted kokosnoot rice merely puts the icing on the cake! I cooked it in a mixture of kokosnoot milk too water and so it’s super creamy, as well as then stirred in the toasted coconut flakes at the cease. OMG it’sec SO GOOD.

I besides similar adding a picayune bit of extra toasted coconut on acme! Because yous tin can never have besides much.

I’thousand pretty certain I’ve made this iv or five times inward the past month some. I cannot get plenty! It rivals the best garlic butter shrimp I’ve e'er had, which is from my favorite Cuban eatery. That meal leaves me literally speechless..as well as this is correct upwardly there amongst it!

If y'all’re looking to arrive a lilliputian lower carb, you lot could totally make this alongside cauliflower rice! I’d merely sauté it in a piffling coconut crude oil too stir inward the toasted kokosnoot afterwards.

Seriously my dream meal.
