It's going up to 55 here today, and it's raining ... Fall is well-established. So to find something as bright, flavorful, and gorgeous as this shrimp dish??? What a fabulous start to my morning!

What size were your shrimp, 21-25? 48 shrimp sounds like a lot. Did you have company? Can I have the leftovers?

StephenC said...

Oh, and by the way, the picture makes your dish look like a pro chef made it.

I didn't know that you can combine sea food with mango. It doesn't sound like a good mix but at least I hope that It can taste good.
