Sri Lankan Coconut Lime Fish with Slaw and Rice Recipe

Sri Lankan Coconut Lime Fish and Rice was created to enter a recipe contest with Serious foodie products. I used a creamy coconut rice base topped with a spicey coconut lime fish then added a crunchy slaw and a little coconut lime spicy crema to finish it off. The combination of the sweet coconut the bright lime and then the heat are sure to leave your taste buds screaming for another bite.

The hot sauce that I used is from Serious Foodie. The flavor is amazing and the heat is a great amount. I don’t eat spicy food and was able to eat this. This hot sauce will leave you dreaming of the beaches of Sri Lanka even if you haven’t been there. Your imagination will kick in and you will be transported to that beach chair watching the interesting fishing techniques the locals use!
