Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse 10 large shrimp under cold running water, pat dry, and skewer 5 shrimp onto 2 wooden skewers. Generously sprinkle the backs of the shrimp with black pepper and lightly salt.

Step 2

Peel the mango and use a sharp thin knife to cut large pieces of flesh from both sides of the pit.

Step 3

In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. When the oil is sizzling, place 2 pieces of mango (flat side down) into it. Fry until browned (about 3 minutes) and immediately transfer to plates.

Step 4

In the same skillet, place the shrimp on the skewers and fry on both sides. Cook for 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.

Step 5

Place the cooked shrimp directly on the skewers onto the plates with mango, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges and green onion.
