⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by preparing your shrimp. Ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and patted dry with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture, which might dilute the flavor.
  2. 2.
    In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 cup of coconut milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. This step helps infuse the dish with a rich, creamy base. Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce and stir well to combine for a savory depth of flavor.
  3. 3.
    Add the finely grated ginger, ensuring even distribution. This adds a warm spice that complements the creaminess and saltiness perfectly. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
  4. 4.
    Introduce the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the pepper slices are slightly tender but still retain a bit of crunch. This ensures a perfect mix of textures and a fresh flavor.
  5. 5.
    Add the shrimp to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as it can make the shrimp tough. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
