πŸ₯­ Quick, low-calorie high-protein dish that’s grill-ready in 30 minutes – ideal for summer appetizers or light mains.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

– Juice of 2 limes

– 1 red chili pepper, seeded and minced

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1-First step: make the mango lime coulis Start by placing the 2 ripe mangoes, juice of 2 limes, 1 seeded and minced red chili pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. This gives you a bright, sweet, and spicy coulis that will coat the shrimp and serve as the final sauce.

2-Second step: divide the coulis and marinate the shrimp Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the coulis and place it in a bowl with 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir gently so the shrimp get coated on all sides. Let the shrimp marinate for 15 minutes.

3-Third step: preheat the grill Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. A hot grill is important because shrimp cook fast and need direct heat to pick up light char marks. Clean and lightly oil the grates if needed so the shrimp do not stick.

4-Fourth step: grill the shrimp Place the shrimp on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. The shrimp should curl slightly and feel firm, but not rubbery.

5-Final step: plate and serve Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving plate. Spoon or drizzle the remaining mango lime coulis over the top, then finish with fresh cilantro. Serve right away while the shrimp are hot and the sauce is bright.

Notes

πŸ₯­ Choose ripe, fresh mangoes for the smoothest, most flavorful coulis.
🌢️ Adjust the amount of red chili pepper to control the spice level to your taste.
πŸ”₯ Use direct high heat on the grill for perfect char marks and juicy shrimp.
