Instructions
Garlic Lime Shrimp:
  1. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them first by running under cold water, then pat dry. Remove all of the tails.
  2. In a small bowl, add the lime juice, soy sauce, coriander, and cayenne pepper, then whisk to combine. Pour over the shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside and start making the coconut rice while the shrimp marinates. Peel and chop the mango into small chunks while the rice is cooking, set aside until ready to serve. Cook the shrimp when the coconut rice is almost finished cooking, during the last 5 minutes.
  3. In a large saute pan, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 – 60 seconds. Add the marinated shrimp to the pan then pour any excess marinade over the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side or until the shrimp are pink, opaque and fully cooked.
  4. Serve with Coconut rice and chopped mango. Spoon the juice from the pan over the shrimp and rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Coconut Rice:
  1. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Stir in the rice and keep stirring to coat the rice in oil for about 1 minute. Add the water and coconut milk to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and cover with the lid. Cook for 18 – 20 minutes. Once finished, fluff the rice with a fork.
