Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 -3 tablespoons oil
2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tahitian vanilla bean
1/2 cup rum
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a saute pan or skillet over medium-high flame. Add the shrimp and saute until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • Slit the vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out the seeds. Add the rum, vanilla bean pod and seeds to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the rum is largely evaporated.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and cream. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer slowly until the sauce is thickened and its volume is reduced by about half.
  • Remove the vanilla bean pod and return the shrimp to the pan. Simmer to heat through and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot over rice with a side of sauteed spinach or chard.
  • Variations:.
  • Saute a minced onion after you saute the shrimp and simmer in the sauce.
  • Use evaporated milk instead of cream.
  • Don't throw away the vanilla bean pod. Rinse it off and set it out to dry. When it's dry, bury it in a jar of sugar and store in the cupboard for delicious homemade vanilla sugar. Use the sugar in baking or for coffee.
