Seafood Mango Stir Fry

MANGO SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp, combine the egg white, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sesame oil, and white pepper.
• Pat the shrimps dry, and mix them well with this marinade, making sure all are well coated.
• Leave in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
• Add 2 TBS peanut oil.
• When the oil is very hot, remove the wok from the heat and add the prawns.
• Stir vigorously to prevent them sticking, return to heat and cook until they turn white, about 2 minutes depending upon the size of your shrimp.
• Remove the shrimp, and discard the oil.
• Wipe wok with paper toweling, removing all residues.
• Return the wok to the heat, again heating until very hot.
• Add 1 1/2 TBS peanut oil, and when very hot, add the ginger and garlic.
• Stir fry for 10 seconds.
• Return the shrimp to the wok and add the rice wine or sherry, and 1/2 tsp salt.
• Stir-fry for one minute.
• Add the mango cubes and stir gently for 1 minute to warm them.
• Stir in 2 tsp sesame oil.
• Serve with rice, garnished with chopped scallions.

SEAFOOD MANGO STIR FRY

Steps:

• Place all stir fry SAUCE ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Process or blend until smooth. Taste-test the stir fry sauce for sweetness - you want a balance of flavors: tangy, but definitely more sweet than sour. If needed, add 1 teaspoons to 1 tablespoons additional sugar. (Note: the sweetness of the sauce will depend on how sweet your mangos are.).
• Prepare all other ingredients for stir-frying, and place next to the stove. If using fillets of fish, gently cut them into cubes. For shrimp, be sure to remove the shells. If you are using clams and/or mussels, rinse with cold water, removing any surface debris.
• Pour 1 tablespoons canola oil into a wok or large frying pan and place over medium-heat heat. Add the garlic, onion, and snow peas. If using clams, add them now as well (Note: clams require a longer cooking time than mussels). Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, or until snow peas turn bright green. Add up to 1/3 of the stir-fry sauce when your wok or frying pan becomes dry.
• Add the rest of the stir-fry sauce, plus the red pepper and seafood. Stir-fry gently, so that you don't break any shells. Also, if using fish fillets, these require extra gentleness, or they will break apart.
• Stir-fry 5-7 minutes, or until all the seafood is cooked (mussels and/or clams should open after 7 minutes - if not, discard).
• A minute or two just before serving, add the mango pieces (these just need warming).
• Serve hot from the wok with rice or cooked barley on the side. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and decorate with lime wedges, if desired.
