  • In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the red bell pepper, cooking until the peppers are tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the sliced green onions (both white and green parts), 1/2 cup of cilantro, red pepper flakes (if using), and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the ingredients are fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, and salt to taste (I used about 1 teaspoon). Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes to help the flavors develop and the sauce reduce slightly.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and tender (if the shrimp are overcooked, they will become tough, so be attentive).
  • Add the lime juice, mix, and serve immediately over our previously cooked and hot rice.
