1 Large Shallots, raw (minced)
1/2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
4 tsp. Curry powder
1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
16 Ounces Shrimp, raw (peeled, deveined and halved lengthwise)

Recipe Notes

This recipe is a great way to use your leftover coconut rice. One night serve a dish with coconut rice, like Chicken Satay or Pork Chops with Black Bean and Pickapeppa Sauce, and make extra. Put the extra coconut rice in the fridge for a great salad like this one later in the week.

"Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull."
