Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 medium mango, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, peel the mangoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, roughly the same size as the shrimp for even cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread shrimp and mango pieces alternately onto the skewers, starting and ending with shrimp for stability. Ensure the ingredients are snug but not overcrowded.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and pink, with nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the Shrimp and Mango Skewers immediately as an appetizer or pair with rice or salad for a main course.
