Coconut Rice & Shrimp

I’ve always been a fan of shrimp, and I love incorporating it into all kinds of different meals. Coconut and lime complement shrimp so well, and this dish is full of interesting flavors. I like to cook with Ralston Family Farms Jasmine Rice when I make this recipe to get that nice, fluffy texture.

Thanks to our friends at Ralston Family Farms for this recipe!
