Today’s Creation: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp

Hey there, fellow foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest culinary creation: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp. I was feeling adventurous in the kitchen and decided to combine some unique flavors for a dish that truly surprises the taste buds. This recipe is perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy night in.

Ingredients:

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 red chili peppers, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • grater
  • wooden spoon

To start, heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced chili peppers. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the diced mango and cook until slightly softened.

Next, pour in the coconut milk and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

Once the shrimp are cooked through, squeeze the lime juice over the dish and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Give everything a good stir to ensure the shrimp are coated in the creamy mango coconut sauce.

Serve the Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp hot, either on a bed of steamed rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This dish pairs perfectly with a crisp white wine or a fruity cocktail.
