Shrimp with Mango Chipotle Sauce

This one comes together fast and tastes like a restaurant dish. The mango chipotle puree gives you sweetness, heat, and depth, and the whole thing cooks in under ten minutes. My son took one bite and said “yum!” which is all the validation I needed.

Ingredients

For the sauce

1 cup mango chipotle puree

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Juice of 1 lime

1 clove garlic, minced

Pinch kosher salt

For the shrimp

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

Kosher salt

Fresh black pepper

Olive oil

Chopped tarragon, for finishing

Instructions

1. Make the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the mango chipotle puree, honey, Dijon, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

2. Sauté the shrimp

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and place them in the hot pan in a single layer.

Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side until the shrimp are just cooked through and lightly pink.

3. Add the sauce

Turn the heat to low. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Let the sauce warm and cling to the shrimp, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning.

4. Finish and serve

Top with chopped tarragon. Serve with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Notes

The mango chipotle sauce is excellent on grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or spooned over rice bowls. It keeps in the fridge for a few days and freezes well.
