Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 267kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lb. precooked, frozen, large shrimp (thawed)
- 15 oz. can full-fat coconut milk
- 3 sticks dried lemongrass
- 2 medium limes (juice only)
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp. garlic granules (or more, to taste)
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, combine the coconut milk, lemongrass, and the juice of 1½ of the limes. Reserve the remaining juice for later in the cooking process.
- Add the pepper and garlic powder here as well.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 4 minutes.
- When the lemongrass is soft (you can just push down on it with a spoon to test it), add in the shrimp and cook until they are warmed through or cooked to your liking. I always cook mine for a while, but I'm paranoid about cooking seafood properly, so use your judgment on how long they should cook. If you bought them pre-cooked, you won't need to cook them for very long. They just need to be warmed.
- At the very end of cooking, turn off the heat and stir in the remaining lime juice and fresh cilantro.
- Cool slightly and serve.
