Units
Scale
- 1 lbs (454 g) large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails left on)
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp agave
- 3 cloves garlic (diced)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 green onion (bottom removed and sliced)
- 1 mango (peeled and cut into thick slices)
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp agave
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, agave, garlic, sliced green onion, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and mango. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Place skewers in a shallow baking dish filled with cold water. Soak for 15 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Remove shrimp from marinade and add to skewers, approximately 4 to 5 shrimp per skewer.
- Heat grill or grill pan over high heat. Season the grill with oil. Once hot, grill shrimp skewers for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from grill or grill pan once pink and opaque. Add to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Stir together the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with shrimp skewers and lime wedges.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, pre-grill the mango slices for 1-2 minutes per side before adding them to the marinade.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the skewers in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Leftover skewers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the dipping sauce should be stored separately.
