So this morning I see your recipe and immediately thought about that can of coconut milk! We had it for dinner tonight (with Costco shrimp we had on hand) and it was excellent! Thanks for sharing such a flavor and simple meal. It was perfect for a weeknight!

Actually I haven't used coconut milk in my cooking either but not long ago had a soup with coconut milk in it and the soup was outstanding. Of course, living in N FL, I am only about 30 min. north of the Gulf of Mexico so we are so blessed with fresh seafood year round. I have a favorite fish monger who gets shrimp in daily so this will be on next weeks menu. Thanks for sharing and BTW, when I do fried fish (usually grouper and had some just this past week) it is a MUST for me to serve it with cheese grits but that is the Southerner in me. Looking forward to trying the coconut rice with shrimp.<br /><br />CarolynSoutherncookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205120984091304271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-82972663361095546052015-03-07T13:49:56.182-05:002015-03-07T13:49:56.182-05:00How I love coconut milk soup with vegetables (the ...How I love coconut milk soup with vegetables (the way Thai restaurants make it), so I know I'll enjoy this rice dish, as will my family. I've not heard of it before so look forward to making it and shall have my husband grill some shrimp per your recommendation. I know it will be mouthwatering.<br /><br />As for memorable meals, I completely understand what you mean. I recall meals with some wonderful friends, made with love, that I shall never forget; lasting memories of their good company even though they are no longer with us.

As you well know, the recipe probably came from the African slaves who came from the coast. There they use different chili peppers which probably got to Africa from the New World via the slave trade. So black pepper or any kind of heat would work well. As to the photos, sometimes even I surprise myself.

And then, she was the chef here at Fearrington in the 80's I think, and was in Gourmet, which is how I first ever heard of our village! Anyway, this sounds wonderful and I will most definitely try it. Just bought a pound of shrimp at Whole Foods yesterday!

The colors look gorgeous together and it sounds delicious, especially with shrimp. We get great shrimp here straight from the Gulf of Mexico.
