Cook them in minutes, and watch them disappear in seconds.
If you love shrimp, this recipe will quickly be your go-to for the grill – with a mojito in hand, preferably.
Mango, sesame, and lemon come together to create a sweet, sticky coating, which adds to the delicious charred flavors from the BBQ. Add hot paprika, ginger and robust olive oil to round out the flavor profile and you'll have a show-stopping combo that transports you to a Thai beach.
This recipe is the perfect way to take advantage of your grill before the weather turns too chilly, so go ahead and call a few of your favorite friends and plan a BBQ.
TIP: If you have time, marinate the shrimps one day ahead. They'll be even juicier.
Combine mango, oil, citrus juice, ginger, garlic, and spices in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a non-reactive container, add shrimps and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1-hour minimum, or overnight to marinate.
Preheat a grill to medium-high. Thread shrimps onto skewers, keeping them straight, then grill, turning once, until charred and just cooked through (2-3 minutes per side). Remove skewers and transfer shrimps to a platter. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges.
