How to Make Rummy Shrimp

Prepare the vegetables: Trim and halve the snow peas. Peel and thinly slice the carrot.
Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, coconut milk, lime juice, and cornstarch until completely smooth.
Set aside the sauce: Place the sauce mixture aside.
Stir-fry vegetables: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas and carrots and stir-fry for 5 minutes, until slightly tender-crisp.
Add shrimp and spices: Add the shrimp, ginger, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper to the skillet.
Cook shrimp: Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
Add rum: Stir in the rum and cook for another minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off slightly.
Combine and simmer: Re-stir the sauce mixture and pour it into the skillet along with the chopped basil and pineapple chunks. Bring to a rapid boil.
Simmer to thicken: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve: Serve the Rummy Shrimp immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with extra basil if desired. Makes 4 servings.
