– 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced – Brings adjustable heat to the sauce.

– 2 garlic cloves minced – Provides aromatic depth in the coulis.

– 2 tablespoons olive oil – Coats shrimp for grilling and prevents sticking.

Instructions

1-Prepare the Mise en Place: First Step: Gather all tools and ingredients. Peel and devein 1 pound large shrimp, leaving tails on. Dice 2 ripe mangos, 1 red bell pepper, seed and mince 1 jalapeno, mince 2 garlic cloves, and chop fresh cilantro. Juice 3 limes, dividing the juice. This setup takes 10 minutes and keeps you organized. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Dry surfaces help achieve better grill marks and prevent steaming.

2-Make the Spicy Mango Lime Coulis: Second Step: In a blender, combine diced mangos, juice of 2 limes, jalapeno, garlic, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning. The red bell pepper adds subtle sweetness here; blend it in for extra body if desired. Pour coulis into a bowl and set aside. For best flavor, let it sit 10 minutes. This step builds the sauce’s layers while you prep shrimp.

3-Marinate and Skewer the Shrimp: Third Step: In a bowl, toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons olive oil, remaining lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let sit 5-10 minutes. This quick marinade infuses flavor without overpowering. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Soak wooden ones in water first for 30 minutes to avoid burning. Metal skewers work too and heat evenly.

4-Preheat and Grill the Shrimp: Fourth Step: Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 400Β°F. Oil grates lightly. Place skewers on grill. Grill 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Turn once with tongs. Internal temp should hit 145Β°F for safety. Total cook time: 5-6 minutes. Avoid overcooking; shrimp toughen fast. Remove from heat immediately.

5-Serve with Coulis: Final Step: Slide shrimp off skewers. Drizzle with mango lime coulis. Garnish with cilantro. Serve hot with rice or greens. Total time: 25 minutes. This method yields juicy shrimp and vibrant sauce. For indoor option, use a grill pan over medium-high stove heat.
