Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Make sure to fully thaw them in the refrigerator or under cold running water before peeling, deveining, and marinating. Pat them dry to ensure the marinade sticks properly.
Q: What can I substitute for jasmine rice in the coconut rice?
A: You can use basmati rice, long-grain white rice, or brown rice as substitutes. If using brown rice, note that it will require a longer cooking time and possibly more liquid. Adjust accordingly.
Q: Can I make this recipe dairy-free or gluten-free?
A: This recipe is naturally dairy-free. To make it gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, as regular soy sauce contains gluten.
Q: What if I don't have a grill or grill pan?
A: You can cook the shrimp in a regular skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly browned.
Q: How should I store leftovers?
A: Place any leftover shrimp, rice, and salsa in separate airtight containers. Store shrimp and rice in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The mango avocado salsa is best eaten fresh but can be stored for up to 1 day in the refrigerator. To prevent browning of the avocado, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salsa before sealing.
Q: Can I prepare parts of this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can! The coconut rice can be made up to 1 day in advance and reheated before serving. The shrimp can be marinated and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. The mango avocado salsa is best made fresh but can be prepped (without the avocado) a few hours in advance. Add the avocado just before serving.
Q: What variations can I try for the salsa?
A: You can customize the salsa by adding diced cucumber, pineapple, or jalapeños for some heat. For a different herb choice, swap cilantro for fresh mint or parsley.
