Tropical Paradise on a Plate: Spicy Mango Coconut Crusted Shrimp

Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Coconut Crusted Shrimp

Today, I’m excited to share a dish that brings back memories of tropical vacations and lazy days on the beach. This spicy mango coconut crusted shrimp is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with a kick of heat that will transport you to paradise with each bite.

Ingredients:

• 400g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 ripe mango
• 100g coconut flakes
• 1 tbsp chili flakes
• 1 lime (juiced)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• blender
• mixing bowl
• skillet

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a blender, combine the ripe mango (peeled and diced), coconut flakes, chili flakes, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until you have a smooth paste.

In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with the mango coconut mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and the coating is crispy.

Transfer the shrimp to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve hot and enjoy the tropical flavors of this unique dish!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 600g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

Tip:

For an extra kick of heat, add a sprinkle of extra chili flakes before serving. The contrast of sweet mango and spicy chili is a flavor explosion!

I hope you give this spicy mango coconut crusted shrimp recipe a try and make it your own with any additional ingredients you love. It’s perfect for a special dinner or a weeknight treat that will transport you to an exotic destination in just one bite. Bon appétit!
