Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side. 4. Cut the fruit into the desired shape.

Steps:
- Using a paring knife, cut through the back shell of each shrimp. Remove the dark vein by running your forefinger between the shell and the flesh of each shrimp, keeping the shell intact. Reserve shrimp in a re-sealable gallon plastic bag.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the fish sauce. Add the garlic, chile, Thai basil, and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir well and pour over the reserved shrimp in the plastic bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air. Massage the bag to make sure that all of the shrimp are covered and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan with remaining oil. Grill the shrimp, turning once to prevent burning, until evenly pink and golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve shrimp on large plate over Sour Mango Salad.
- Mix the mangos, carrots, and chiles in a large bowl.
- For the dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together the lime, fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the dressing to the bowl and toss together. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain and serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.
SPICY COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO BASIL SALSA AND LIME JASMINE RICE
I marinate the shrimp in a sweet and spicy coconut milk marinade then I cook them in a dry pan. The salsa finishes it off with more sweetness and heat. Basil keeps the tongue awake through it all.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH MANGO SALSA
I recently saw this recipe for mango salsa made on an episode of The Barefoot Contessa. This particular show was featuring "healthy" recipes for a change, and this version of a mango salsa simmered on the stove top, then finished with fresh herbs sounded quite good. The original recipe had seared tuna steaks served over the salsa, but I chose to mix in some sauted shrimp as well. Also, on the show, Ina Garten uses fresh mint leaves, but I prefer to use a mix of fresh cilantro and basil, just to be different.

Steps:
- Make the shrimp: Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Boil shrimp until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, and refrigerate.
- Make the mango-basil sauce: Pulse mangoes, lemon rind and juice, vinegar, salt, and white pepper in a food processor until smooth. Fold in basil. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
- Make the tomato-horseradish sauce: Stir together chili sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice. Season with black pepper. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
- Make the remoulade: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir in celery, parsley, and scallion. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately (or refrigerate for up to 1 day).
- Place shell-on shrimp in a large bowl, or peel shrimp and arrange in small serving dishes. Serve with the 3 sauces on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that is firm, translucent, and has no off odors.
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw it properly. The best way to thaw shrimp is to place it in a colander in the refrigerator overnight. You can also thaw shrimp by placing it in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooking shrimp will make it tough and rubbery.
- Use ripe mangoes. Ripe mangoes are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe mangoes.
- Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a more intense flavor than dried basil.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. Letting it sit will make it tough and rubbery.
Conclusion:
Shrimp with Mango Basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its sweet and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
