Cooking With Toni: Thai Coconut Shrimp & Rice

Welcome to this edition of Cooking With Toni.  I love Crockpot meals, you simply throw the ingredients in and let it cook.  It couldn’t be simpler.  Today I am sharing one of the recipes I love from Southern Living’s Quick & Easy Recipes.

Thai Coconut Shrimp and Rice (prep time: 17 minutes, cooking time 4 hours 50 minutes)

Ingredients:

• 2 red bell peppers, cut intostrips
• 1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth
• 1.5 cups uncooked converted rice
• 1 tbsp. garlic-chili sauce
• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 10 (1/8 inch thick slices peeled, fresh ginger
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 pounds peeled, medium-size fresh shrimp (or 2 pounds if you buy in shell)
• 2 cups fresh sugar snap peas, trimmed
• 1/2 cup (1 inch) sliced green onions
• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions:

• Place first seven ingredients in a 5-quart electric slow cooker; stir well.  Cook on LOW for 4 hours.
• Increase to HIGH.  Add shrimp and remaining 3 ingredients; cover and cook for about 50 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.  Spoon into bowls.  Yields 8 servings.

This is definitely a YUMMO recipe and my kids just adore the shrimp, though the veggies are still a fight to get them to eat LOL.  If you would like a recipe featured on Cooking With Toni please email it to Toni@JustStopScreaming.com with a link to your site (if you have one so I can link to it).  I would love to feature any recipes out there with my readers.  Have a great day and go get your cook on!

Owner at A Daily Dose of Toni

Hi, I’m Toni — a mom of three, psych major, Gulf Coast girly, and full-time collector of life plot twists. I’m currently navigating mid-life with caffeine, humor, and the kind of chaos that deserves its own sitcom. Between college meltdowns, Disney escapism (hey adulting is hard and Mickey doesn't judge), family adventures, and whatever fresh nonsense life throws at me, I’m documenting it all with honesty, sass, and zero attempts at pretending I have it together. Welcome to A Daily Dose of Toni — the chaos era, but make it cozy.
