Coconut Shrimp Stew

March 10, 2014      Cook It Girl      5 Comments

It’s been WAY too long. Like seriously it’s been forever. There has been lots of changes and a lot of planning in my life and now I know that I can’t go another couple of months without blogging ever again. With that being said, here is a simple coconut shrimp stew recipe which goes great over rice!
edit 2Funny thing is, I don’t eat anything that swims. My taste buds have something against seafood. I wish I Loved it because it looks so good. My boyfriend on the other hand could eat seafood every day if you let him. Therefore I made this recipe for him. Now…

Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you can’t cook it. If you don’t like shrimp but everyone else around you does, there are simple instructions to cook it. To my understanding people will eat shrimp cold and with no flavor at all! I have to have flavor in everything I cook, so cooking shrimp, although I don’t like it, seemed pretty easy.

IMG_4731 I used pre-cooked shrimp. They come in a small bag with the tail still attached.  As you read the recipe you will see that you do not leave the shrimp cooking for long. Why? Because then they become very chewy, like rubber. That’s a big no, no for seafood lovers. Because these shrimp are already cooked all you have to do is let them hang out in the pot for about 5 to 8 minutes. That’s it! Simple and easy.

Garlic and Lime are shrimps best friends. Throw in a lot of both and you’ll create a party in someone’s mouth!
I’m so glad to be back at this cook it girl thing. Ready to take over everyone’s kitchen with awesome recipes and ready to connect with all my readers! Thank you for love and support!

Now let’s get to cooking!
