Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for marinating
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced for a flavorful kick
  • 2 limes lime juice for a zesty touch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a bit of heat (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste for seasoning
For Spicy Mango Lime Coulis
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 lime lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional for extra sweetness
  • Chili Flakes a pinch for added spice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated. Allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine diced mango, lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of chili flakes. Blend until smooth.
  4. Heat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Skewer the shrimp if desired for easier handling. Grill shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
  2. Remove shrimp from the grill, drizzle with spicy mango lime coulis, and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don't skip the marination step to infuse flavor, and avoid overcooking the shrimp to prevent a rubbery texture. Adjust the sweetness and spiciness of the coulis to your personal taste.
