Wow! What a great meal last night. I wasn't sure how flavourful this would be since the ingredients are so simple, but I thought it was great. And that was without the jalapeno, which sadly I had to leave out to please little palettes. I didn't even have a full can of coconut milk, only half, and it still worked out perfectly. For fish I used tilapia. So easy, thanks Kim!! Made for ZWT5.
