Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe mango, peeled and finely diced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Glaze: In a blender or food processor, add the diced mango, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference. Set aside.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the prepared mango glaze over the shrimp, tossing gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated shrimp in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully pink and opaque.

        Add the Remaining Glaze: Once the shrimp are nearly cooked through, pour the remaining mango glaze over them in the skillet. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly, and let the mixture simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.

          Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the mango glazed shrimp with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze over the dish.
