- Preheat the air fryer to 375° F. Place the seasoned shrimp and peppers in the air fryer basket and air fry for 12-15 minutes, until shrimp are fully cooked and peppers start to char.
Coconut Curry Sauce

- Heat the coconut oil in a medium-sized saucepan set over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Gradually whisk in coconut milk mixture, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the lime juice, fish sauce, chili powder, ground cloves, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- To serve, divide the rice, shrimp, and peppers between bowls. Spoon the coconut curry sauce over top and garnish with fresh cilantro.
