Pan-Asian and Caribbean Shrimp with Basmati Rice Recipe

Growing up in major cities such as Caracas, London, Paris, and Miami, where world-class restaurants abound, I have always been influenced by not only the local traditional fare but especially the fusion of different cuisines.
This unique dish combines the tantalizing flavors of the Caribbean such as coconut milk, lime, and rum with savory ingredients from the Far East that include ginger, soy sauce, and sriracha.
Basmati rice anchors this dish, making the succulent shrimps and velvety sauce stand out.
Consuming coconut milk has a lot of health benefits. The milk of the heavenly fruit boosts immunity, promotes weight loss, and enhances heart health. Lime rejuvenates the skin and helps fight infections. Ginger is a powerful antibacterial and full of antioxidants.
Not only did this a healthy and highly aromatic dish, but it is also an extremely easy—and quick—recipe that will surely please all palates.
So let’s get cooking.
This dish feeds four.
