Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Save 9 grams of fat and 9 grams of saturated fat per serving by preparing with light coconut milk.

How to Toast Coconut

Toasting coconut is easy. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut evenly in shallow baking pan. Bake 8 to 10 min. or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully as coconut can easily burn!

Food Facts

Coconut milk is generally found in the ethnic foods section of the supermarket. Do not substitute cream of coconut, which is too sweet for this recipe.

This recipe was very good after I doctored it up with salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic. My family liked it but requested that I add more color next time. Overall, it's a keeper. Next time, we'll eat it in a tiki hut :)

I loved it! A nice sweet change to my regular menu. I did forgot the toasted coconut and maybe that is why it was a bit plain. I did add salt and pepper at the table. Its still missing some zing or spice... but definitely worth making again!

Rice was dry and not enough flavor for the dish.

I made this recipe and I was disappointed the rice was still hard and it was very sweet for us. I was sure i followed all the steps maybe it was just me... but I'm sure I won't make this one again

Made if for a fiesta party I had. I used fresh pineapple along with the juice from it and added shrimp last few minutes of cooking. It was the hit of the party and many people requested the recipe. YUMMO!

missing something... make it your own. pineapple chunks too big. jasmine rice recommended

This was great! I used quick brown rice and light coconut milk to make it a little healthier. I made this twice. The second time I made it, I put the shrimp in last and they came out better. They weren't so tough. Shrimp really doesn't need a long time to cook. This was one of my husband's new favorites!
