Shrimp And Mango Appetizer Food

SHRIMP AND MANGO APPETIZER

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the shrimp.
• If using frozen mango, microwave or steam until thawed but not hot. If using fresh mango, peel and dice them into very small cubes.
• Put the mango and shrimp together in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix the liquids in the marinade together first. I use just a few drops of lemon juice, and for the white wine I recommend for Trader Joe's shoppers, Two-Buck Chuck.
• Add the spices to the marinade and fully blend.
• Coat the shrimp and mango with the marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes so it can absorb the flavorings. Don't throw out any unused marinade, you need it for sauteeing.
• Transfer the entire contents of the bowl to a large frying pan and sautee on medium high heat.
• After you've been sauteeing for a minute or so, add the topping and stir well.
• Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque (about 10-15 minutes.) I like them just a little browned.
• This dish is great as both an appetizer and a main meal. It goes great with rice, naan, salads, and many other possibilities.

• Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the coconut breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
• Fry the shrimp in the oil in batches of 8 to 12 until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
