Cooking

    Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Shrimp

    Add the diced tomatoes, shrimp, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the shrimp cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

    Once the shrimp are cooked, stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
