Grilled Mango shrimp

Not only the yellow-orange fruit is pretty attractive, the aromatic smell invites you to pick some of them when you shop. Yes, i am talking about Mango magic! I never tried to cook a ripe mango, like any other fruit, I love to eat them right away and enjoy the natural flavor.
When we were kids, we just take some ripe mango slice as side dish for our favorite Curd rice. It simply delicious way to eat these fruits… But...
Meeta thinks this exotic fruit; can be devoured in delicious way other than scooping out the flesh! Yes, this month “monthly mingle” is just to honor this beauty Queen (mango): Mango Mania!

The delicate shrimp is mixed with the tangy sweet flavor of mango and marinated along with some spices. They re grilled in medium heat for few minutes and served hot with pasta. You have an exotic and elegant dish with a matter of minutes!

Vegetarian: try to substitute with tofu or Paneer!
