Mango Shrimp

Jump to Recipe

I served this appetizer at my Mother’s Day lunch a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes I go beyond Mediterranean cuisine, and for good reason. When a dish is that tasty – it must be shared.

Such is the case with Mango Shrimp – more accurately it’s a shrimp served with a mango sauce. Shrimp on its own is good but with this mango sauce – you’ll lick the sauce off the plate! It’s the star of this dish.
