Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Glaze: In a blender, combine the cubed ripe mango, honey, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the glaze appears too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Season them with salt and pepper to taste. Pour half of the prepared mango glaze over the shrimp and gently toss to coat them evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn a lovely pink color and are no longer translucent.

        Add the Remaining Glaze: Drizzle the remaining mango glaze over the cooked shrimp in the skillet. Stir well to ensure the shrimp are fully coated in the glaze. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, giving the sauce time to thicken slightly.

          Serve: Once thickened, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the mango glazed shrimp over a bed of fluffy rice or a crisp salad. Finish the dish by garnishing with sesame seeds and a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and a pop of color.

                - Presentation Tips: Consider plating the shrimp on a banana leaf or a colorful plate to enhance the tropical theme. A wedge of lime on the side adds a splash of color and allows guests to drizzle more lime over the dish if they prefer. Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish!
