Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
• 1.5 cup white basmati rice (uncooked)
• 3 cup water
• 1 can canned coconut milk (13.5 oz can, unsweetened)
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (finely grated)
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounce green beans (trimmed)
• 2 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. Combine white basmati rice, 3 cups water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until tender and water is fully absorbed.
2. Heat avocado oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add grated fresh ginger, ground turmeric, ground coriander, and ground cumin, stirring constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in canned coconut milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add trimmed green beans, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
4. Add peeled shrimp to the simmering coconut sauce. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently, until shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through to 145 degrees F.
