    Shrimp with Mango Salsa and rice - easy, fresh, Mediterranean-style dinner that you can make at home!

    Shrimp with mango salsa and rice

     

    I've been working diligently this week on using up several pounds of mango I've had for about 2 weeks. They were not quite ripe enough, but now, after more than 2 weeks in the refrigerator, they are ready to serve their purpose! I've already made fish tacos, grilled salmon, seared black cod - all topped with tropical fruit salsa: I can be quite repetitive with my dinner choices. Oh well: once again I am combining seafood and tropical fruit to make this very colorful and fresh Summer dish: shrimp with mango salsa and rice!

    Shrimp with mango salsa and rice

    Tropical fruit salsa goes exceptionally well with all kinds of seafood, something I've learned in Hawaii. Making this kind of salsa is as easy as throwing together some fresh vegetables, chopped mango, pineapple or any other tropical fruit, lime juice, and some spices! You can sear the shrimp on stove top like I did below, or you could grill it using the same spices I am using in this recipe. Or, if you don't have fresh shrimp, you can even use frozen cooked shrimp (defrosted).

    Because it's so easy, I often make this shrimp with mango salsa after a long work day - it's very comforting and quick!

      Hello Julia. I made this recipe for my daughter last night and she did her 'shoulder wiggle dance!' : ) I have a considerable amount of salsa left over. Will it freeze well?

      This is a wonderful recipe! Not only delicious, but so pretty on the plate that my teenaged daughter had to take a photo of her food! The whole family commented on how much they loved it. I will probably be making this at least once a month from now on. Thank you for this recipe!

        I saw those in the photo, too, but it's not listed in the recipe.
