Red Beans and Coconut Rice
For a change, I made these Rice Cooker Red Beans and Coconut Rice rather than making it on the stove. I was making a shrimp dish that had coconut milk in it as well so I measured out what I needed for the shrimp, then used the rest of the can in the rice dish, topping it off with some water so I had enough liquid.
If you don’t have a rice cooker, just cook it all in a pot with a lid for about 25 minutes on a very low simmer.

[…] got this recipe from Cooking Light many years ago. I like to serve red beans and coconut rice with these shrimp but plain rice or noodles would be good […]
