Jasmine rice - truly one of my new fave foods! I cannot get enough. It is aromatic, slightly sweet and absolutely delicious. It goes so well with so many dishes. This recipe isn't just regular jasmine rice (although that is great too) - it is COCONUT LIME JASMINE RICE. This recipe is super tasty with a touch of sweetness and a little zing from the lime. Seriously cannot recommend this combo enough. This is a great option for a side dish at your holiday table, a weeknight dinner or even the main event with shrimp (as I made here). I hope you guys enjoy!
For this recipe, I used Riceland Foods Jasmine Rice. It is incredible tasting and high quality that I can trust. Riceland Foods is American grown rice and supports thousands of farmers across the country distribute rice across the world. Plus, they have been making rice for nearly 100 years!

So here is what you need for this recipe:
- Jasmine Rice: But of course! The good stuff aka Riceland Jasmine Rice.
- Coconut Milk: I use full fat here. It gives it the best full body flavor!
- Shrimp: I personally like to get fresh shrimp from the seafood section of the grocery store. Frozen also works great if that is the only option. Look out for wild caught!
- Limes: for that zest, you know 🙂
- Paprika Seasoning or Chili Lime Seasoning: For the shrimp to make it spicy!
- Scallions: Make for a great garnish.
- Avocado Oil: Best for high heat cooking the shrimp in the cast iron skillet.
This recipes makes 3-4 servings.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Drain and rinse the rice in cold water. Use a small perforated strainer to do so. You want want to make sure the holes are small enough.
Add water, coconut milk, drained rice and salt to a pot. Mix well with a spatula. Try to get all the chunks out of the coconut milk.
Bring the pot to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Let rice cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let rice sit for 5-10 minutes before fluffy and mixing with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, prepare to cook the shrimp. The best way to make the shrimp is on a cast iron skillet. Toss the shrimp in a mixing bowl with avocado oil, paprika or chili lime seasoning and sea salt. Mix until they are well coated.
Heat up a cast iron with avocado oil. When hot, place the shrimp on the skillet. Let them cook for 3 minutes on each one and 1-2 minutes on side two. They are finished when they are fully opaque and shrunken.
When rice is ready, squeeze in the juice of half a lime and mix.
Finally, add rice and shrimp to individual bowls. Top with scallions! Enjoy.

Hi Joy, I have not tried that technique for this one so I am not sure. Sorry about that!
