Recipe: Jerk Shrimp with Coconut Rice
Ingredients:
Coconut Rice:
1 tablespoon 1890 Persian Lime Olive Oil
2 cups basmati rice, rinsed and drained
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
Method:
For the coconut rice: Add the oil to a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and set over medium heat. Add the rice, stir to coat in the oil, and toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of water, the coconut milk and salt and stir to combine. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to the level of the rice. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. After 15 minutes, stir the rice, re-cover and set the pot off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and add the cilantro and scallions.
Shrimp:
1-2 lbs Prawns deveined with tail on
2 tbsp. 1890 Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
2 tbsp. 1890 UP Extra virgin olive oil
1 Lemon thinly sliced and halved
2 Medium sized Cedar Planks
Dill for garnish
Instructions
Heat oven to 375° F
Soak Cedar planks in water for 15 minutes each side to prepare.
In a medium sized bowl, add your peeled deveined shrimp. I prefer to keep the tail on. This just makes for a better look.
In a medium sized bowl, season shrimp with Jamaican Jerk seasoning and olive oil.
Mix well and make sure every shrimp is coated with the seasoning.
Using wood or metal skewers for shrimp and lemons.
For every two-shrimp alternate adding lemon in between.
Place on a cedar plank or a baking sheet.
Bacon in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes.
Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the oven and enjoy a nice bed coconut rice.
