Shrimp With Mango and Plantians
- 10 -12 ounces mango nectar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 ripe plantains
- 2 fleshy ripe mangoes
- 1 lb shrimp
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- sea salt
- Slice up two plantains and saute in one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Brown one side (about two-three minutes) then turn each slice and brown the other side.
- Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
- In the same pan, pour one can of Mango nectar and simmer on medium low heat until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes or more depending on the thickness of your canned nectar.
- Meanwhile peel the mangoes and cut into one-inch chunks.
- I like to make a circular cut around the mango, top to bottom, following the edge of the mango seed.
- Then cut one-inch slices across the grain on both flat sides of the seed.
- With a long knife, cut your chunks away from the seed.
- (Everyone has their own way of cutting up a mango.
- ).
- Add shrimp to the mango reduction and simmer until they turn pink and opaque.
- A good way to test a reduction sauce is to pull a flat edged spatula across the pan.
- If the sauce holds back for an instant, as shown here, you have a nice not-too-thick-not-too-thin reduction.
- Set the shrimp and sauce aside in a bowl to cool down a bit.
- Then carefully fold in your mango, plantains and cilantro.
- This is a very easy, fruity dish that can be served as a light lunch or an appetizer.
