Coconut Rice: Add rice, water, coconut creme milk, and Turmeric in a pot. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to high, and allow the liquid to come up to a full boil. Once it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to low. Allow the rice to simmer over low for 15 minutes. Make sure the pot maintains a simmer. Do not stir or lift the lid as the rice simmers.
After simmering for 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice rest an additional 5 minutes without lifting the lid. Finally, after the rice has rested, you lift the lid and fluff with a fork. Serve hot
Shrimp: place butter, chopped garlic cloves, and fresh ginger in the bottom of a pan on medium heat. Let butter melt with garlic and ginger softening.
Add shrimp into the pan, coating in the butter/spice mix. Add seasonings and coconut aminos. Cook for approximately 5 mins or until shrimp is warmed.
Final touch: Place the Shrimp on top of the coconut rice. Top with cut fresh mango pieces.
Note: You can add any type of protein to this dish instead of shrimp! Scallops, Tuna, Chicken, Steak, etc.
