Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a unique and refreshing dish that embodies the essence of summer – Mango Basil Shrimp Pasta. This dish combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the freshness of basil and succulent shrimp, creating a symphony of flavors that will delight your taste buds. Let’s dive in and create this culinary masterpiece together!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 300g fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 250g linguine pasta
• 1 ripe mango (peeled and diced)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Make sure you have the following kitchen tools handy:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• pot for boiling pasta
• wooden spoon

To begin, cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Next, add the fresh shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add diced mango and basil leaves. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the basil leaves are wilted. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together.

Drain the cooked linguine pasta and add it to the skillet with the shrimp, mango, and basil mixture. Drizzle lemon juice over the pasta and toss everything together until well combined.

Serve the Mango Basil Shrimp Pasta hot, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves for extra flavor. Enjoy this delightful combination of sweet mangoes, fragrant basil, and succulent shrimp in every bite!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 900g, with 4 servings at an average weight of 225g per serving. Each serving is estimated to have around 400 calories.

A clever tip for this dish is to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick of heat that complements the sweetness of the mango. It’s a small touch that can elevate the flavors of the dish!
