Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons cooking oil; 1 onion, chopped; 1 green bell pepper, chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 3/4 cup long-grain rice; 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes; 1 3/4 teaspoons salt; 1 3/4 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree (from one 15-ounce can); 5 cups water; 1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk; 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and cut in half horizontally; 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Servings: persons

2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup long-grain rice
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree (from one 15-ounce can)
5 cups water
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and cut in half horizontally
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

1
In a large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes.
2
Add the rice, red-pepper flakes, salt, tomatoes, and water to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the rice is almost tender, about 10 minutes.
3
Stir the coconut milk into the soup. Bring back to a simmer and then stir in the shrimp. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just done, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.
4
Variation: Instead of the shrimp, use one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about three), cut crosswise into quarter-inch strips. Cook for the same amount of time.
5
Wine Recommendation: The sweet elements here call for a somewhat assertive sweetness in the wine as well. A Vouvray demi-sec, from France's Loire Valley, ought to strike just the right balance.
