🕒 Prep Time: 15 min (+ marinating)

🍳 Grill Time: 8-10 min
🍽️ Servings: 6 (5 shrimp per skewer)

Ingredients

Shrimp:

  • 30 shrimp (about 650 g, unpeeled)
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ½ tsp honey (or sugar)
  • 5 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mango Sauce:

  • ½ large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • Zest and juice of ½ lime (about 2 tbsp juice)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and devein the shrimp, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, combine Sriracha sauce, crushed garlic, olive oil, and honey. Add chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss shrimp in the marinade until evenly coated.
  3. Marinate the shrimp in the fridge for a few hours or at room temperature for 1 hour if short on time.
  4. Prepare the mango sauce just before grilling: in a food processor, blend mango pulp, lime zest and juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Thread 5 shrimp onto each skewer as shown in photo 2.
  6. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat for 5 minutes without oil. Place skewers on the grill, spacing them apart. Grill shrimp about 2 minutes per side until grill marks form and shrimp turn opaque.
    If using a grill pan without skewers, arrange shrimp spaced apart and grill similarly.
  7. Serve hot shrimp skewers with the mango sauce for dipping.

💡 Tips

  • Dry shrimp thoroughly before marinating for better grilling results.
  • Adjust Sriracha quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh lime zest brightens the mango sauce beautifully.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
