Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe mango, diced into small pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Glaze: In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Set aside half of the glaze for later use.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Pour half of the mango glaze over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the marinated shrimp in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, then flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are fully cooked and slightly caramelized.

        Finish with the Glaze: Lower the heat and pour the reserved mango glaze over the cooked shrimp. Gently stir to combine all the flavors, allowing the mixture to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Serve It Up: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a touch of spice, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or a crisp, fresh salad for a delightful meal!
