Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Shell and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Peel the mango and cut it in half-inch-thick slices.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet. When it is quite hot but not smoking, add the shrimp, stirring rapidly. Cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the shallots, and cook, stirring, for about 10 seconds. Add the vodka, cream, more salt and pepper if desired, and the pepper flakes. Cook over high heat about 1 minute. Add the mango and cook briefly until piping hot, not longer.

  4. Step 4

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and the mango to a warm serving plate. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil for about 30 seconds, add the coriander, and spoon the sauce over the shrimp. Serve with rice.

Typed in Mango, Shrimp , last night and came up with this hidden gem. . Minimal changes, sautéd thin strips of rep pepper with the mango, subbed 1/2 and 1/2 for cream and zipped up regular vodka by adding lemon zest. Placed rice in bottom of bowl, topped that with arugula and then the shrimp. mango and sauce. Easy and delicious.

What a find! I think a lot of people are sleeping on this one because there are no pictures in the app & that's a foolish mistake. Here is Southern California, I was able to pick up some HUGE mangos at a roadside stand and the rest was easy-peasy. Definitely worth trying out and if you or a family member love mangos - it's sure to be a big hit!

Not sure how you cut a mango into 1/2” slices; we ended up with mangled bits from the imported mangoes available in January. It was great in any case—rave reviews from our party of 5.
