Water for the Rice
Pour the coconut milk, and water (see pantry) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Stir well.
Stir in the rice and 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 15 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Meanwhile, trim the green beans and cut into quarters. Once the rice has been cooking for 5 mins, add the green beans to the same pan and stir to combine. Cover again with the lid and cook for the remaining 5 mins, then follow the instructions in the previous step to finish cooking the rice.
Trim the spring onion and thinly slice on an angle. Zest the lime, juice one half and cut the other half into wedges.
Remove the pineapple slices from the tin and cut into chunks. Reserve the juice for later.
Drain the prawns.
In a medium bowl add the prawns, pineapple chunks, Caribbean style jerk seasoning and a drizzle of oil. Stir to coat.
Put a large frying pan on a medium-high heat (no oil). Once hot, add the prawn and pineapple mix, cook for 5-6 mins. Turn only every couple of mins - the pineapple should be lightly charred.
Season with salt and pepper. Set aside in a bowl. Set the pan aside for the next step - no need to clean. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They’re cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
Heat the same frying pan on a high heat.
Once hot, add the reserved pineapple juice and the lime juice, stir any Caribbean style jerk seasoning left in the pan into the juice and allow to boil, 1-2 mins.
Stir the lime zest through the rice.
Share the zesty coconut rice between your bowls.
Top with the charred Caribbean style jerk prawns and pineapple.
Drizzle the pineapple and lime sauce over everything and garnish with the spring onion.
