To make the shrimp, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked through. Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
To make the coconut sauce, heat the red palm oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the red pepper flakes and cook for another minute. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To make the rice, rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice, water, and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
To serve, spoon the rice onto a plate and top with the shrimp and coconut sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
