Lunch Crock Coconut Rice and Mango Shrimp

Lunch Crock Coconut Mango Shrimp
Do a lot of you take your lunch to work? Now I work at home so I don’t have to plan out my lunches quite as much, but for many years I commuted downtown to an office and I tried to do a good job of packing lunches that were not only healthy but tasty. But, seriously, it’s not easy. I know. I would pack a frozen microwavable dinner and then lunch time would roll around and the frozen dinner (or maybe it was even a sandwich) couldn’t be heard over the calling of a nice fresh meal from the deli. And $8 later, there I was feeling guilty about the the money and maybe even the calories.

A couple years ago I first saw these little lunch food warmers and I was super curious. It took me a bit to finally buy one and I did play around with it and create a couple of recipes before it ended up on a pantry shelf collecting dust. Not because it wasn’t great, but just because I’m home and didn’t really need to use it much.

I like this particular recipe because even though it’s the dead of winter, Christmas is over and spring is a long time away it has the taste of a tropical summer day. It’s really simple to make with just a few ingredients and takes about an hour in the lunch warmer before it’s ready.
