Ingredients
– 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
– 2 ripe mangos (peeled and diced)
– Juice and zest of 2 limes
– 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
1-First Step: Make the Mango Coulis. Peel and dice 2 ripe mangos. Add to blender with juice and zest of 2 limes, 1 seeded and minced jalapeno, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt. Set aside. This takes 5 minutes. Pro tip: Select firm ripe mangos for best texture, as noted in tips.
2-Second Step: Prepare the Shrimp. Pat 1 pound large shrimp dry with paper towels. This step ensures better char on the grill. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to taste. Thread onto skewers. Use metal skewers or soak wooden ones in water for 30 minutes first. Takes 3 minutes.
3-Third Step: Preheat the Grill. Heat grill to medium-high, around 400ยฐF. Oil grates well to prevent sticking. This setup gets perfect sear without burning. Wait 5 minutes for even heat.
4-Fourth Step: Grill the Shrimp. Place skewers on grill. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and get light char marks. Flip once. Internal temperature hits 145ยฐF for safety. Remove from heat. Total grill time: 5-7 minutes. Let rest 1 minute.
5-Final Step: Serve and Garnish. Spoon coulis over grilled shrimp. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges. Pairs well with rice or salad.
