Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add the ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes to the dry skillet and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the toasted coconut flakes from the skillet to a plate to cool.
-
Step 2.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp and 1 pound trimmed and halved sugar snap peas. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sambal oelek (if using). Transfer the shrimp mixture to a bowl and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
-
Step 3.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 cup long-grain white rice and cook, stirring, until the edges of the grains begin to turn translucent, about 1 minute. Pour in the 1 can unsweetened coconut milk, 1 cup water, and 2 teaspoons fresh lime zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
-
Step 4.
When the rice is cooked, stir in the reserved toasted coconut flakes, the thinly sliced green onions, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the reserved shrimp mixture over the rice, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes to warm through. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing on the side.
