In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, lime juice, and jerk seasoning. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
Add bell peppers and garlic, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in basmati rice, allowing it to toast slightly, about 2 minutes.
Pour in coconut milk and water, then add salt to taste. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff with a fork. Fold in the cooked shrimp.
Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted coconut flakes before serving.
