Directions

Preheat the grill to 450 degrees F. (Rainy day? ""Grill"" on top of the stove.)

Make the sauce: Puree the green onions and chili pepper in a blender or food processor, then add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if necessary. (If you used thawed frozen mango, you won't need water.) Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate the rest.

Spray a nonstick or cast-iron grill pan with nonstick spray. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Lightly brush the shrimp with the reserved sauce.
Add the shrimp to the hot pan. Cook for three minutes, flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until the shrimp is firm and opaque.
Remove from heat, peel as you eat, and serve with dipping sauce.


Serving Size: 5-6 shrimp and 1/2 cup of sauce per serving.

Number of Servings: 4
