I feel bad making my post just after Alyssa did because her picture is so nice and mine is bad (hence no picture). Okay, we LOVED this recipe... don't I say that about every one? :) First off I was caught off guard by the paste for the shrimp. In my mind I was making a marinade and it most certainly was not a marinade but a paste. I followed the recipe exactly with one minor alteration, I doubled the paste part and in so doing only used 1 1/2 the amount of curry. We like curry but didn't want it to be too spicy for Abigail.
I have no experience with mango. I was a bit intimidated at first but dug right in anyway. What the heck is up with that weird pit thing in the middle?? Weird. The few times I have tasted fresh mango I am surprised by its spiciness; I like it. On with the review...
Everyone loved the yummy dinner, except Abigail. I can never tell if she doesn't like something for real or if she's just being 2. I think she was being 2 because she likes everything in there and she ate all the shrimp and loved them. I loved the spicy shrimp with the mango! What a great combo! I was a little surprised that the leftovers weren't as good for lunch today as I thought. You know how some things are better the next day? I thought this would be that way. I also made the dessert, it was very good! Refreshing... I love lime.
We made mojitos to drink with dinner, that added a nice touch. Something about the drink and the food made me feel like I should be in the Caribbean! Tisha, thank you! This meal is a redo, it will be great to make next week when my mom comes (she is allergic to gluten). Over all we give it four thumbs up!
