There’s something amazing about the combination of Mango and fresh Florida Shrimp, but adding just a bit of sweet chili sauce makes it “off the chain” as TV Food celebrity Guy Fieri would say. We would say, and we think you’ll agree, that it’s Positively Delicious!
INGREDIENTS
- 20 large Florida shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 Florida mangoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Florida sugar
- 1 cup sweet chili sauce
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped fine
- ¼ cup scallions, sliced fine
- 20 small bamboo skewers
- Cooking oil spray for grilling
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least one hour (this reduces the chance of the skewers burning). Combine the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, ginger, and mint in a small bowl. Slice the scallions and set aside. On a clean surface place a mango cube in between the tail and top of a shrimp. Insert the bamboo skewer through the shrimp and mango.
Repeat the skewering process until all shrimp are skewered, store in the refrigerator until ready to grill. Preheat a charcoal grill (or indoor grill pan) and cook the shrimp and mango skewers. When the shrimp is close to being cooked through, glaze with the sweet chili sauce. Sprinkle with the sliced scallions and serve.
