Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh mango puree
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 large firm mangoes, cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mango puree, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Divide the marinade into two equal portions; place one half in a small container in the refrigerator to use as a finishing glaze.
  3. Toss the jumbo shrimp in the remaining half of the marinade and let them marinate for 30 minutes (do not exceed 1 hour).
  4. Thread the skewers by alternating one shrimp, one mango cube, one piece of red onion, and one piece of red pepper, pushing ingredients close together without squashing.
  5. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with melted butter.
  6. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp is succulent and the edges are mahogany-colored.
