This recipe is highly recommended for a party or reunion in the backyard, for its simplicity and deliciousness. You can serve them like appetizers or for dinner with Mexican rice or cilantro as an accompaniment. I can assure you they'll be everyone's delight! At home I usually prepare them when we get together with friends and they’re always a hit; especially if you serve them as a snack along with mini-mofongos, fried plantains or panapen.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 ripe mango, chopped in cubes
  • 1 chipotle pepper with adobo
  • 1/4 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • 1 mango nectar juice (9.6 oz)
  • 1 lemon, squeezed
  • 2 lbs raw shrimp, peeled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, optional

Directions

  •  
    1
    In skillet, warm up the oil at medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic immediately and mix well for a few seconds; let crystallize, without burning them.
  •  
    2
    Add mango; cook until they become soft and smooth. Add the chipotle pepper, ginger and mango juice. Let it thicken for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep it from burning.
  •  
    3
    Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and let cool it at room temperature, then store in the fridge until you are ready to use.
  •  
    4
    Once sauce is ready, skewer the shrimp with the stick and season them with salt and pepper. Cook them in a grill or griddle for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Don't overcook them so they don't turn hard or chewy.
  •  
    5
    Serve right after cooking with the mango sauce.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    I recommend you use large or medium shrimp so you can insert them well on the sticks without them falling off.
  • tip 2
    Use the chipotle pepper to your liking, or you can substitute with sweet peppers or yellow peppers if you don't like spicy food.
