Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
- Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice, coconut milk, coconut sugar, and ¾ cup [1¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Toast the coconut
In a dry large frying pan over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan. When the rice is done, stir in the toasted coconut.
3
Prep your protein
Shrimp or scallops: Rinse and drain the shrimp or scallops. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper and the paprika.
Chicken, steak, or pork strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and the paprika.
Chicken breasts or pork loin chops: Pat the meat dry with a paper towel; cut into 1-inch strips. Season with salt and pepper and the paprika.
Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper and the paprika.
Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper and the paprika.

Prep the remaining ingredients; cook your protein
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
- Juice half the lemon; cut the remaining half into wedges for garnish. [Juice 1 lemon; cut the remaining lemon into wedges.]
In the same pan used for the coconut, warm the butter over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the protein is lightly browned and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes for regular shrimp; 4 to 6 minutes for jumbo shrimp, scallops, steak, pork, tofu, or plant-based chicken; and 6 to 8 minutes for chicken. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Serve
Transfer the coconut rice to individual bowls, top with your protein, and serve with the lemon wedges.
