Shrimp And Mango Appetizer Recipes

SHRIMP AND MANGO SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• For the shrimp and mango summer rolls: Fill a large bowl with water and add ice cubes. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil, add the shrimp and blanch until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to the bowl with ice water to stop the cooking. Let the shrimp sit in the ice bath for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry the shrimp, slice horizontally in half and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the mangoes, lime juice, fish sauce and sambal, season with pepper and stir to combine.
• Fill a dish with hot tap water. Add a wrapper for 2 seconds only and transfer the wrapper to a lint-free towel to drain, top with a second towel and blot dry. Flip over the stack of towels and peel off the top towel. Top the wrapper with 2 to 3 Thai basil leaves and the shrimp and mango filling. Fold up the bottom and force the filling downwards to form a log. Then fold in both sides then continue rolling. Store under a damp towel to keep moist. Repeat with remaining rolls. Halve each roll on the diagonal and serve immediately.
• Make the lime dipping sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with the rolls.

SHRIMP AND MANGO APPETIZER

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the shrimp.
• If using frozen mango, microwave or steam until thawed but not hot. If using fresh mango, peel and dice them into very small cubes.
• Put the mango and shrimp together in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix the liquids in the marinade together first. I use just a few drops of lemon juice, and for the white wine I recommend for Trader Joe's shoppers, Two-Buck Chuck.
• Add the spices to the marinade and fully blend.
• Coat the shrimp and mango with the marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes so it can absorb the flavorings. Don't throw out any unused marinade, you need it for sauteeing.
• Transfer the entire contents of the bowl to a large frying pan and sautee on medium high heat.
• After you've been sauteeing for a minute or so, add the topping and stir well.
• Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque (about 10-15 minutes.) I like them just a little browned.
• This dish is great as both an appetizer and a main meal. It goes great with rice, naan, salads, and many other possibilities.
