Dry toast the coconut by heating a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut and cook until golden brown, stirring frequently. This will take about 10 minutes depending on your heat. Be sure to watch coconut carefully as it can easily burn. Transfer coconut to a bowl and set aside to cool.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or dutch oven. Add the onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and next eight ingredients and cook another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the crushed tomatoes, bouillon cube, toasted coconut and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered for 30 minutes. Next, puree mixture with a stick blender or a regular blender till smooth. If using a regular blender, allow mixture to cool down a bit before blending.

Add the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and begin to curl. Remove from heat. Add spinach and peas and cover for 2-3 minutes. Serve in bowls with a scoop of jasmine rice, a sprinkle of cilantro and a splash of fresh lime. You could also garnish with fresh basil, chives or green onions.
