Tropical Mango Coconut Shrimp Delight

Today’s Unique Dish: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp Stir-Fry

As the weather starts to cool down, I always find myself craving warm, comforting dishes with a touch of tropical flair. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweet heat of mango with creamy coconut and succulent shrimp in a unique stir-fry that will transport your taste buds to a sunny paradise.

Ingredients:

• fresh shrimp (400g, peeled and deveined)
• ripe mango (1 large, cubed)
• coconut milk (1 can)
• red chili (1, sliced)
• red bell pepper (1, sliced)
• garlic cloves (3, minced)
• fresh ginger (1 tbsp, grated)
• soy sauce (2 tbsp)
• fresh lime juice (2 tbsp)
• coconut sugar (1 tbsp)
• fresh basil leaves (a handful)

Kitchen Tools:

• wok
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• wooden spoon
• grater

To start, heat your wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant. Next, add in the sliced red chili and bell pepper, cooking until just tender.

Now, push the veggies to the side of the wok and add the shrimp. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, then pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and coconut sugar. Stir everything together and let simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, gently fold in the cubed mango and fresh basil leaves. Cook for another minute until the mango is heated through but still retains its shape.

Give the stir-fry a final taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with extra basil leaves and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra pop of freshness.

Final Touches:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, making about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g and contains approximately 350 calories.

Clever Tip:

To add a crunchy texture to this dish, try tossing in a handful of toasted coconut flakes right before serving. The nutty flavor and crispy bite will take this stir-fry to the next level!

I hope you enjoy making this spicy mango coconut shrimp stir-fry as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite veggies or protein to make it your own signature dish. Bon appétit!
