PARTNER POST: May 26 is National Pinot Grigio Day. We’re celebrating with Cavit Wines by sharing refreshing spring and summer recipes that pair perfectly with Pinot Grigio.
Mango and Garlic Grilled Shrimp are served with a spicy cilantro dipping sauce to be a flavorful summer bite.
Summer patio parties scream for easy appetizers that can just be thrown on the grill. It’s so much better than heating up your kitchen and it gives you yet another excuse to enjoy that magical summer air.
Marinades are my new favorite thing to master. It’s incredible to me how such a basic step (and an EASY one) can bring so much flavor to whatever you are cooking!
The mango gives a little fruity tartness and the agave brings in a subtle sweetness to the shrimp, not to mention keeping them plump and juicy.
There’s only one thing that can make the experience of eating these skewers even better… a crisp glass of chilled Cavit Pinot Grigio.
Cavit Pinot Grigio is light and refreshing, with subtle hints of citrus that pair oh-so well with the mango juiciness of the shrimp. When served chilled, it’s a way to relieve all that heat and makes for a fun pairing for this particular appetizer. You’ll be wow’d at how much the wine brings out certain notes in the shrimp, and visa versa!
The char from the grill, the fruity mango, and the tangy spicy dipping sauce are all just what your summer party ordered.
