I have been making this Shrimp pasta in coconut sauce ever since I was a teenager. I love coconut hence why I make a lot of dishes with coconut oil or sauce. Especially pasta. My initial idea was to do a pasta for you guys but I think I might pass and do it another time.
Easy to Make Shrimp Pasta in Coconut Sauce
The ingredients used in this dish was real coconut oil and powered coconut milk. I can never use supermarket coconut oil. Sorry! I am too West Indian to be using some fake coconut oil that has no flavor, smell or taste. I get my coconut oil from Jamaica. I usually ask my Grandma to make it and she would make a big batch for me. I always have an abundance of coconut oil available.
This dish is so easy and delicious your family will love it.
