How to Make Spicy Coconut Shrimp Stew With Tomatoes And Cilantro

  1. Season 1 pound of shrimp lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper (any color).
  5. Cook, stirring frequently, until almost tender, about 4 minutes.
  6. Add 2 scallions (white parts only), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
  7. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
  8. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk.
  9. Bring to a simmer.
  10. Reduce heat to medium.
  11. Simmer, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors and thicken the sauce slightly, about 5 minutes.
  12. Add the seasoned shrimp, partially cover, and cook, stirring often, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook!
  13. Stir in the juice of 1 lime and adjust seasonings, adding more salt if necessary.
  14. Serve the shrimp stew hot over cooked rice.
  15. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro and the green parts of the 2 scallions, thinly sliced.
