• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 7 ounces basmati rice
• 1 cup reduced-fat coconut milk
• 2 limes, zest and juice
• 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 7 ounces frozen cooked large shrimp, defrosted
• 1⁄2 cucumber, halved and sliced diagonally
• 1⁄2 ounce cilantro leaf, chopped
• 3 1⁄2 ounces snow peas, halved lengthways

directions

1. Tip the rice into a saucepan with the coconut milk and enough cold water to cover by a finger-nail's depth. Bring to the boil, then cook over a medium heat for 10 mins or until the liquid has gone. Stir, cover, take off heat and leave for 5 mins until fluffy. Spread over a dinner plate to cool quickly.
2. Meanwhile, make a dressing by stirring together the lime zest and juice and sweet chili sauce. Stir shrimp into the dressing and set aside while the rice finishes cooling.
3. Fluff up the rice with a fork, then toss with the cucumber, cilantro leaves and snow peas. Serve in bowls, scattered with shrimp and dressing.
