Foodie Byte

You will need 12 metal or wooden skewers for this recipe. If you use wooden ones, don’t forget to first soak them in water for at least an hour before grilling so they don’t burn.

Ingredients

36 jumbo shrimp
2 ripe mangoes, each sliced into 12 pieces

1/2 of a jalapeño, minced
1/2 cup tequila
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
oil for grilling

Preparation

Preheat grill to high heat.
To make the glaze, combine minced jalapeño, tequila, lime juice, brown sugar, and ginger in a small saucepan. Set over heat and cook until boiling and slightly thickened.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Pour mixture into glaze while stirring. Bring back up to a boil and take off heat. Divide into two bowls then set aside.
On each skewer, put three shrimp and two mango slices, alternating.
Brush hot grill with oil so prevent shrimp from sticking.
Season shrimp and mango with salt and brush with glaze. Grill on both sides until shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Brush again with remaining glaze and serve.
