GRILLED SHRIMP WITH MANGO SALSA
Great Food (01/07 issue) "O, The Oprah Magazine." Created by renowned Chef and author, Nina Simonds'. This dish is definitely one meant for company and a nice get-together. The platter of shrimp should be lined with bibb lettuce cups and basmati rice sprinkled into every cup with wedges of lemon. UPDATE: 07/24/2008 - I forgot to mention that any marindade that is used with fish, chicken, or steak should be thrown away after it has been used to marinate the dish.

- TO MAKE THE SHRIMP:.
- Rinse and drain shrimp; pat dry with paper towels.

- Thread shrimp onto metal skewers (or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for about an hour).
- Brush with oil and grill over medium heat, regularly brushing with soy mixture, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until shrimp are cooked through.
- When finished grilling, remove from skewers and place on a serving platter.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a strong fishy odor.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Make sure the mango salsa is nice and fresh. Use ripe mangoes and fresh cilantro and onion. You can also add other fruits or vegetables to the salsa, such as pineapple, avocado, or cucumber.
- Serve the shrimp and mango salsa immediately. This dish is best served fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp with mango salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the mango salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
