Nigerian Baked Coconut Fried Rice with Shrimp - Nkechi Ajaeroh

Ingredients

• 4 cups of raw rice (I typically use the long grain rice brand)
• 5 cups of chicken broth (I used Homemade but store-bought works!)
• 4 cups frozen veggies (or however you want)
• 1 can coconut milk/13.6 oz can (I used full fat); Homemade coconut milk works as well!

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons of curry
• 2 teaspoons of ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon of Knorr powder seasoning
• Salt (add to taste); use less salt if using well-seasoned chicken broth!
• Black Pepper or Crushed Red Pepper (Always add to your taste/preference)
• 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil (for sauteing the shrimp)
• Salt to taste (about ¼ – ½ tsp; or add to preference)

• Dry thyme (about ¼ tsp; or add to preference)
