African Coconut Rice With Lime Shrimp

[Gimbiya]

Soft coconut rice with Lime shrimps.
This coconut rice was so good. It tasted yummilicious though the rush for the shrimps was more but the pot of rice got cleared even before I could say Jack. The plan was to cook with four coconuts but some were bad so I had to substitute with one sachet of Emma coconut powder.

I chopped in tiny pieces, added hot water and blended within seconds. #ByeToCoconutGrating.

Just like the pancake rolls, my girls so enjoyed this meal that they requested I preserve a little for their lunch boxes the following day and guess what? Even the one that has said she never wants to see anything rice in her lunchbox cleared everything and said that was because she enjoyed it and that the shrimps tempted her too, Lolz.
