Let's start with the coconuts if you're using fresh ones. Be careful with sharp objects oh. If you're observant you will realise I have a thing for coconuts, this explains why I have a Coconut Jollof Rice Recipe HERE and a Coconut Fried Rice HERE I made last Christmas -Both Epic
Shrimp coconutrice is prepared just the same way as the classic coconutrice although it's by far more interesting and flavorful with all the colorful vegetables and shellfish added which gives it more appeal

By the way I have made this, you can choose to eat it with fried stew or ofada stew. For today’s recipe, I added coconut milk to my rice and beans to give it that bit of oomph

Immediately, mix in the cold rice, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Jasmine rice (2 cups – preferably cold rice – like from left over – but freshly steamed/boiled rice is okay too).
