Ingredients:

16 oz shrimps
450g
4 tbsp olive oil
55g
2 tbsp honey
40g
5 garlic cloves
16g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g
2 jalapeno peppers
27g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.90g
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1.50g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
4 tbsp butter
54g
1/4 cup coconut milk
54g
1 tbsp basil
5g
1/2 cup white rice
90g
1 cup black beans
260g
1/2 avocado
100g

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Shrimp:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, minced jalapeños, red pepper flakes, ground cumin, coriander leaves, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Rice:
- Cook the white rice according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves bringing a saucepan of water to a boil, adding the rice, then reducing the heat and covering, letting it simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside, keeping it warm.
3. Sauté the Shrimp:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
4. Make the Coconut Milk-Infused Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, pour in the coconut milk, stirring constantly.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the sauce to coat well.
- Add the chopped basil and give it a final stir.
5. Prepare to Serve:
- Reheat the cooked rice if necessary and serve it on one section of the plate.
- Spoon the black beans next to the rice.
- Place the coconut milk-infused shrimp on the remaining section of the plate.
- Garnish with fresh slices of avocado.
6. Final Touch:
- Optionally, garnish the dish with extra chopped coriander leaves or a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness.

Tips:

- Ensure the shrimp are deveined and thoroughly cleaned before cooking.

- For an extra kick, leave in some seeds when chopping the jalapeno peppers.

- Use fresh garlic and ginger for the most intense flavors.

- Stir the coconut milk well before adding it to the dish to ensure even consistency.

- Adjust the honey and red pepper to taste if you prefer the dish to be sweeter or spicier.

- Cook the white rice slightly al dente so that it absorbs the flavors of the shrimp juices when mixed.

- Rinse the black beans thoroughly if using canned beans to remove excess salt and preservatives.

- Add fresh coriander leaves and basil as a final garnish to enliven the dish with herby freshness.
