2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 jalapeΓ±o or serrano pepper, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
1-Prepare the coulis: Blend mango cubes, lime juice, chili peppers, garlic, and salt until smooth, then simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken and let cool.
2-Pat dry and marinate shrimp: Dry shrimp well with paper towels, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a spoonful of coulis; marinate 15-30 minutes.
3-Heat the grill: Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450Β°F) and brush grates with oil.
4-Thread skewers: Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes, then thread shrimp leaving small gaps for even heating.
5-Grill with lid and brush coulis: Place skewers on grill, close lid, cook 2 minutes, then brush tops with extra coulis for a glazed finish.
6-Flip and cook more: Turn skewers over and grill another 2-3 minutes until shrimp are opaque and curled into a loose C shape.
7-Rest and serve: Remove from heat and let shrimp rest 1 minute to finish cooking gently without drying out.
8-Pair with sides: Serve over rice, salad, or grilled corn, drizzle with remaining coulis, and scatter fresh cilantro on top.

π₯ Freeze mango chunks ahead of time to create a thicker, cooler coulis that blends quickly without diluting the flavor.
π§ Check the salt content before using pre-mixed Cajun or chili-lime seasonings as a quick marinade shortcut.
π§΄ Store the finished coulis in a squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for easy drizzling and professional plating.
