Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp Recipe

Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp

Welcome to my blog, where I love to share unique and delicious recipes that are perfect for any occasion. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that combines the sweetness of mango, the creaminess of coconut, and the kick of spicy shrimp. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones.

Ingredients:

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

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• wooden spoon
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a splash of oil. Once hot, toss in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red chili. Sauté for a minute until fragrant, then add the diced mango and cook until slightly caramelized.

Next, pour in the coconut milk and lime juice, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.

Once the shrimp are cooked through, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness. Serve the spicy mango coconut shrimp hot over a bed of steamed rice or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

This dish yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. Each serving is roughly 300 calories, making it a flavorful and satisfying meal option.

One tip to elevate this dish is to add a splash of rum to the sauce before simmering for an extra depth of flavor. The alcohol will cook off, leaving behind a rich and complex taste that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the mango and the creaminess of the coconut milk.

I hope you enjoy making this spicy mango coconut shrimp as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
