Today’s Unique Recipe: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp

I’m excited to share this new recipe with you all today — it’s a dish inspired by my recent trip to the tropics. The combination of sweet mango, creamy coconut, and spicy shrimp creates a flavor explosion that will transport you to a sunny beach in just one bite.

To begin, gather your ingredients. You will need:

  • 250g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Next, prepare your kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chili flakes, sautéing for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque.

Once the shrimp are cooked, stir in the diced mango and coconut milk. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the spicy mango coconut shrimp over a bed of cooked rice or noodles, garnished with fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts for an extra pop of flavor.

This dish serves 4 people, with each serving weighing approximately 200g. One serving of this spicy mango coconut shrimp is around 300 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of coconut rum to the sauce for an extra tropical kick. The alcohol will cook off, leaving behind a rich, complex flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the mango.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing this unique dish with your loved ones. Feel free to customize it with your favorite proteins or vegetables to make it your own. Happy cooking!
