Juicy citrus-seasoned shrimp are grilled in a buttery garlic-lime sauce and served over coconut rice for an easy, tropical-inspired dinner.
Ingredients
-
Tropical Citrus Rub
-
1-2 lbs XL uncooked shrimp
-
Jasmine Rice
-
Coconut Milk 14oz
-
1 ¼ cup water
-
1 Stick Butter
-
2 Limes
-
1 tbsp minced garlic
Directions
Coconut Rice
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir for 30–60 seconds, just until the grains are evenly coated.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Citrus Shrimp
Add the rest of the stick of butter, 1 tbsp minced garlic, zest and lime juice from one lime to a small sauce pot. Over medium for just a few minutes until the butter is melted.
Evenly arrange the shrimp in a foil pan or a large skillet. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp and season the shrimp with Tropical Citrus Rub.
Place in smoker/grill at 275 over indirect heat for 20-30 minutes. The shrimp will turn an orangish color when finished. Shrimp internal temperature should be between 140-145.
Add shrimp to a plate of rice, add a squeeze of lime, and drizzle 2 spoonfuls of butter from the pan to the shrimp and rice. Enjoy
