Best Coconut Rice With Scallions Peanuts And Shrimp Recipes

BOBBY FLAY'S CRISPY COCONUT SCALLION RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the coconut milk, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Stir in the rice and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Spread the rice in an even layer over a large baking sheet and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. The rice can be made up to 24 hours in advance; store it on a baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator.
• Combine the rice and scallions in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the rice and, using a heavy-duty metal spatula, immediately press the rice down into the pan until the top is flat. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom has become golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes (start checking at 4 minutes, making sure not to burn it). Turn the rice over and press down firmly on the top again. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with more scallions, and serve.

COCONUT RICE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the pot on medium heat and melt 1 tsp of coconut oil. Turn off the heat.
• Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and agave nectar to the pan/pot and mix until combined. Add the rice into the pot and make sure it's evenly distributed under the liquid mixture.
• Seal the lid on your pressure cooker and pressure cook on low pressure for 12 minutes or just use the rice setting on an Instant Pot.
• Release the pressure and give the rice a stir to have any excess liquid absorbed. Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the rice to a plate to cool a bit before serving. NOTE: I prefer letting it sit 10 minutes before eating it because it tends to be more flavorful when it's not piping hot.
• In a small bowl, combine the scallions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix until sauce is formed. If you like heat, feel free to add some chili flakes or sriracha!
• Dry the shrimp on all sides and season generously with salt on both sides.
• Season a skillet on medium-high heat. Pour the oil into the skillet and let it melt.
• Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp and cook for 2 min on each side until pink in color (no longer translucent) golden brown and fully cooked.
• Remove the pan from the heat and put the shrimp on top of the coconut rice. Drizzle scallion sauce on top. Top with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Meanwhile, soak ten 8-inch bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes; drain. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, rubbing any excess marinade on the shrimp; set aside.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Puree the coconut milk, 2 cups basil, the jalapeno and a pinch of salt in a blender, about 30 seconds. (Do not over-blend or the coconut milk might separate.) Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, 1/2 cup water, the coconut milk-basil puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to prevent the rice from sticking. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep covered.
• Meanwhile, brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the shrimp skewers until well marked and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

• For the noodles: Heat a griddle pan on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler to high. Skewer 3 shrimp with two parallel skewers to make 4 skewers with 3 shrimp each. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the soy with the lime juice and zest; reserve half in a separate small bowl. Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
• Toss the noodles in a bowl with the sesame oil and the black and white sesame seeds. Arrange the rice noodles at the bottom of a serving bowl. Drizzle some of the peanut sauce on top. Top with the carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, daikon and scallions. Add the shrimp skewers to the bowl. Serve warm with a lime wedge and extra peanut sauce on the side.
