Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • Be sure to use large uncooked shrimp for this recipe.
  • If you don't have coconut water, you can use regular water and add 1/4 teaspoon of coconut extract.

  • Instead of coconut water, use vegetable broth. The benefit of this substitution is that vegetable broth is a great source of flavor and can add a lot of depth to the dish. Additionally, vegetable broth is a great source of vitamins and minerals, making this dish healthier.
  • Instead of jasmine rice, use brown rice. The benefit of this substitution is that brown rice is a whole grain, providing more fiber and nutrients than white rice. This makes the dish more nutritious and can help to keep you feeling full for longer.

Vegetarian Version Omit the shrimp and substitute vegetable broth for the chicken bouillon granules. Increase the amount of kidney beans to 2 cups. Add 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers and 1/2 cup of diced carrots to the rice cooker. Cook as directed.



Coconut Mango Coleslaw: This tropical-inspired side dish is the perfect complement to the spicy jerk shrimp. The cool, creamy coleslaw is made with shredded cabbage, mango, and coconut flakes, and tossed in a tangy lime dressing. It's light, refreshing, and adds a nice balance to the bold flavors of the jerk shrimp.


Fried Plantains: Fried plantains are a great side dish to pair with jerk shrimp. They are sweet, savory, and slightly crunchy, and their natural sweetness complements the spicy flavor of the jerk shrimp. Plus, they are easy to make and can be served hot or cold. Fried plantains are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table!
