Rinse the rice under water in a strainer until the water runs clear. Add it to 2 cups of water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Keep covered until ready to serve.

SHRIMP

Season the cleaned shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute on each side in batches to ensure that the skillet isn't overcrowded.

Add the coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, honey, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and let it cook for 6-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture to the sauce and simmer for another 2 minutes until thickened.
