Spicy Coconut Shrimp with Mango Salsa

Ingredients
















Method


  • 1Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, chopped mint, rice vinegar, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine and set aside to allow flavors to meld.


  • 2Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.


  • 3Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until just pink. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.


  • 4In the same skillet, add the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.


  • 5Pour in the coconut milk, then stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.


  • 6Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until shrimp are fully heated through and coated in the sauce.


  • 7Stir in the fresh cilantro.


  • 8Serve the spicy coconut shrimp immediately, topped generously with the fresh mango salsa. This dish pairs wonderfully with jasmine rice or quinoa.

Notes


  • For extra heat, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

  • If fresh mangoes are not available, frozen mango chunks (thawed) can be used for the salsa.

  • Shrimp cooks quickly, be careful not to overcook to ensure they remain tender.
