  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined for main protein

– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced for sweet base for the coulis

– 1 lime, juiced for acidity and to balance the sweetness

– 1 to 2 red chili peppers, finely chopped for heat to the mango sauce

– salt to taste for boosting flavor in the shrimp

– black pepper to taste for gentle spice and depth

– olive oil for grilling to keep the shrimp moist and prevent sticking

– fresh cilantro for garnish for color and fresh herbal finish

Instructions

1-First Step: Gather and prep everything Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if that is not already done. Peel the mangoes, remove the pits, and dice the flesh so it blends easily. Juice the lime and finely chop the red chili peppers. Set out the olive oil, salt, pepper, and cilantro so the process stays smooth once you begin cooking.

2-Second Step: Make the spicy mango lime coulis Add the diced mangoes, lime juice, and chopped red chili peppers to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth. If you want a thinner sauce, you can add a small splash of water, but keep it light so the mango flavor stays strong. Taste it and adjust the chili level if needed. The coulis should taste sweet first, then tangy, then slightly hot at the end. This balance is what gives Grilled Shrimp With Spicy Mango Lime Coulis its clean, layered flavor.

3-Third Step: Season the shrimp Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat them evenly so every piece gets flavor. Do not overdo the oil, since shrimp cook best with a light coating that helps them char without becoming greasy.

4-Fourth Step: Preheat the grill Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This temperature gives the shrimp good color while keeping the inside tender. If you are using a grill pan indoors, heat it until hot before adding the shrimp. A properly heated surface helps prevent sticking and gives better grill marks. Medium-high heat is the best choice here because shrimp cook fast and need only a short time on the grill.

5-Fifth Step: Grill the shrimp Place the shrimp on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and opaque. Large shrimp usually need a very short cooking time, so watch them closely. As soon as the shrimp curl and look firm, remove them from the heat. Do not walk away during this step. Overcooked shrimp turn rubbery fast, which can ruin the texture of the dish. If you are unsure, take one shrimp off early and check the center.

6-Sixth Step: Plate and finish Arrange the grilled shrimp on a serving plate. Spoon or drizzle the spicy mango lime coulis on top or around the shrimp. Finish with fresh cilantro for color and a bright herbal note. Serve at once while the shrimp are warm and the sauce is fresh.
