Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 2 (7 ounce) boxes white pearl onions (frozen are perfect, they are soft, easy to skewer and cook quickly, 2 boxes will be around 24 onions)
  • 14 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup mango, pureed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, fine chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method

  • Shrimp -- skewer, shrimp onion, shrimp onion, etc.
  • Butter -- Just mix the butter, mango puree (I just blend my mango in a small food processor for 1 minute until pureed), then I add the fresh ginger and cilantro, salt and pepper.
  • NOTE: fresh ginger is a key to this marinade.
  • Ground will work but just not the same.
  • Grilling -- after the skewers are made, just brush on the butter as the shrimp grills.
  • Nothing more.
  • As I said -- I love to take the remainder of the mango and mix in with some brown rice, onions and scallions to make a simple rice as a perfect side.
  • Some fresh grilled veggies from the market and you have a wonderful easy dinner.
