Ingredients
1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
Juice of 3 fresh limes
2 small red chili peppers, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt plus a pinch more for the coulis
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (optional)
Instructions
1-Make the coulis: Combine diced mango, lime juice, chili, garlic, cilantro, and salt; stir until smooth, adjust seasoning, then cover and chill for at least 10 minutes.
2-Prep the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and let marinate for 15 minutes while the grill heats.
3-Fire the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (350-400°F) with the lid closed to circulate heat evenly.
4-Skewer the shrimp: Thread shrimp onto soaked wooden skewers with small gaps, then lightly oil the grill grates.
5-Grill the first side: Place skewers on the grill, close lid, cook for 5 minutes, and brush with coulis in the last minute.
6-Flip and finish: Flip skewers with tongs and cook another 2-3 minutes until opaque pink with a slight char.
7-Rest and serve: Remove skewers, rest for 1 minute, then serve with extra coulis, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
8-Pair and enjoy: Serve alongside warm tortillas, cilantro lime rice, or crusty bread for dipping.

💡 Freeze mango cubes ahead and blend straight from frozen for a thick, cold coulis that needs no extra chilling time.
💡 Store the coulis in a squeeze bottle before grilling to drizzle directly onto shrimp mid-cook without dirtying extra spoons.
💡 Oil metal skewers or soak wooden ones well to prevent sticking and make flipping effortless.
