Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Pork scaloppine (thinly sliced pork loin)
- 1 cup Unsalted pistachios (shelled)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 12 large Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Fresh mango (diced)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a shallow dish and mix in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and the pistachio mixture in the third.
Pat the pork scaloppine dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with the pistachio mixture. Press gently to ensure the crust adheres. Set aside on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the pork scaloppine in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Add more oil if needed. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Stir in the diced mango, lime juice, honey, and remaining tablespoon of butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the cooked shrimp and mango mixture with fresh cilantro.
To serve, arrange two pieces of pistachio-crusted pork scaloppine on each plate. Top with a portion of the mango shrimp and a drizzle of the skillet sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful fusion of flavors!
