Searing shrimp is an essential technique that significantly enhances both flavor and texture in the Tropical Bliss Mango Glazed Shrimp recipe. To achieve that perfect sear, start with fresh, deveined shrimp, ensuring they are patted dry with paper towels. This step is crucial, as excess moisture will prevent the shrimp from caramelizing properly, leading to steamed rather than seared shrimp.

Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste for spiciness)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Glaze: In a high-speed blender, combine the diced mango, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the glaze and adjust the sweetness or heat by adding more honey or sriracha if desired.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Pour half of the prepared mango glaze over the shrimp, ensuring that they are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for later use. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly charred. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are completely cooked through and opaque. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

        Glaze the Shrimp: After the shrimp are fully cooked, pour the reserved mango glaze into the skillet. Gently stir the shrimp in the glaze to coat them evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to heat through and thicken slightly.

          Serve: Plate the delicious mango glazed shrimp over a generous serving of cooked jasmine rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
