Belizean Shrimp

As soon as I read the blog post accompanying Half Baked Harvest‘s recipe for “Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp in Coconut Sauce” I had to try it.

Inspired by her sibling’s travels through Central America, this dish captures the flavors that I remember from my own honeymoon to Belize: seafood, coconut, rice, spicy and sweet, fresh.

Unable to locate avocados nor plantains in the middle of the Midwest, I opted out and just enjoyed these delicious shrimp over rice made with coconut milk in my pressure cooker.

I also had to opt in freeze dried ginger and frozen cilantro, but the local honey from our fields and basil from my garden really shine through!

Check out Half Baked Harvest and all Tieghan’s beautiful food photography and inspiring dishes on her blog!

Now, if I could only get my lips on a Belikin…
