This recipe turned out very good. I was a bit hesitant about the coconut milk. I used Cream of Coconut and it blended very well with the lemony flavor. Since the lemon grass was only smashed and not minced, I removed it at the end of the cooking time because it tends to be tough. I served this over cooked white rice and we enjoyed it very much.
