Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
1 cup wild rice, uncooked
½ onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1-inch knob ginger, grated
1 can coconut milk
3 tbsp green curry paste
½ cup peas
½ red pepper, diced
1½ dozen shrimp
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Warm water on the side
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
In a large cast iron skillet, cook the onions, garlic and ginger in a little olive olive
While that is cooking, in a plastic bag, mix your uncooked shrimp with 2 tbsp of olive oil and a little salt and pepper, and place in the fridge to marinate
Once translucent, add the wild rice, coconut milk, and green curry paste. Stir well to distribute the curry
Turn the stove on high to allow the coconut milk to boil, and once boiling is met, turn on low to simmer
Stir frequently until all of the coconut milk has been absorbed
Once absorbed, add in a cup of warm water and repeat the boiling/simmer process above until all water is absorbed again. Repeat until rice is almost fully cooked through. This will probably take a half hour
Once rice is almost cooked, stir in the peas and pepper
Turn your oven on to 375 degrees F
Take your shrimp and nestle it into the rice dish
Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 20 mins. The shrimp should be pink and cooked through
Stir in lemon juice and serve!
