Coconut
Ginger Shrimp
This I concocted from two different Thai recipes: Steamed Clams with Fresh
Ginger, and Thai Ginger Chicken Soup. Only I wanted shrimp that night. Here
it is... I think it turned out pretty well.
Of course, modify any ingredient amounts to taste, as I just whip things
together and then estimate later.
1. 5-6 uncooked or cooked shrimp
2. 1/3 cup coconut milk
3. ¼ cup water
4. 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
5. 2 Tablespoons lime juice, or squeeze 1 fresh lime
6. 1 clove garlic, minced
7. 1-inch section ginger, sliced or minced
8. ½ teaspoon sugar
9. Cilantro garnish, optional
10. Rice or noodles
In a large saucepan pour in the coconut milk and water.
Bring to a boil and add the shrimp and other ingredients. Let simmer until
the shrimp are cooked through. Serve over rice or noodles and enjoy. |
