HOW TO MAKE COCONUT FRIED RICE
Cook the rice according to the instructions in the package, about 8-10 minutes.
While rice is cooking, whisk soy sauce, ginger powder, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat both oils over medium heat.
Add shrimp and cook, stirring now and then, for about 3-4 minutes or just until turning pink.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and place on a plate or in a bowl using a slotted spoon.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and cook over medium-low to medium heat, stirring often, until veggies have softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the coconut flakes and then the cubes of mango and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the reserved soy sauce mixture and let heat for about 1 minute.
Then add the rice and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes or until heated through.
Stir in the cooked shrimp and adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the parsley. Serve the coconut fried rice hot.

Oh wow, fast and fabulous, that's how to get dinner done! My favorite way to make rice is paella. That is when I've got time to spend in the kitchen! For a regular week night dinner I also make fried rice. It is a great way to use up leftover meats and vegetables. I always add soy and fish sauce right before serving.
