SPICY MANGO SAUCE

Do not use a blender or a food processor to mince your mango in this recipe. There is more damage done to the cellular structure in a blender, which can create a noticeably different taste and texture. I'll always believe my spicy mango sauce tastes better because I cut it by hand.

SCALLOPS AND MANGO SKEWERS



Scallops and Mango Skewers image

Sweet and meaty, fresh scallops are the most user-friendly of mollusks and make for easy summer suppers. Skewer them with bell peppers, red onion and mango, and they can go from grill to table in about 15 minutes flat. The trick to grilling scallops is simple: Err on the side of undercooking since an undercooked scallop is far more enjoyable than an overcooked one. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through.

Vegetable oil, for brushing
Large scallops
Fresh mango, cut into 1-inch pieces
Red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
Red onion, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper
Chopped cilantro and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill grate with a little oil and put it 3 or 4 inches from the heat.
  • Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternating them with mango, red bell pepper and onion. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill skewers until browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm mangoes: Look for mangoes with a deep yellow or orange color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are green or have brown spots, as they may be unripe or spoiled.
  • Use large scallops: Large scallops are easier to work with and cook more evenly. If you only have small scallops, you can use them, but be careful not to overcook them.
  • Sear the scallops properly: Searing the scallops in a hot pan with a little bit of oil will help to create a caramelized crust and lock in the flavor. Be sure to sear the scallops for only 1-2 minutes per side, or they will become tough.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices, such as cilantro, mint, and chili peppers, can add a lot of flavor to the dish. Be sure to use them sparingly, as too much can overwhelm the delicate flavor of the scallops.
  • Serve immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are juicy and tender.

Conclusion:

Spicy Mango Scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet mangoes, savory scallops, and spicy chili peppers creates a flavor that is sure to please everyone.
