GRILLED SHRIMP AND MANGO SLAW – You can’t beat this dish that calls you to the beach!
It’s all about some Easy Grilled Shrimp and a tasty side! Summer grilling is getting started and that means plenty of grilled shrimp and other tasty items cooked over open flames! When it comes to shrimp I’m a sucker for serving a pile of the little guys, and many other seafood items, up with a side of cole slaw. But, sometimes you need a different take on basic cole slaw!
This recipe is featured in several of my articles as well as my new book Great American Grilling!
Here’s a nice version of a coleslaw with an Asian feel and the taste of Mango as well. Enjoy!
For the Shrimp! Grab a bunch of peeled and deveined shrimp and then:
- toss them in a non-reative bowl with some,
- orange juice,
- ginger powder,
- a dash of hot sauce,
- and some seasoning of your choice.
- Adjust the recipe to your liking! I tend to lean towards Cajun, Jerk style, or something along those lines with the citrus PUNCH!
- Cover, chill, prep your grill and start your cole slaw. Grill as you normally would.
