¼ cup fresh lime or lemon juice
1 tsp honey
2tbl fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lb 16-20 count shrimp, peeled and deveined

Method
1. In a food processor, place the mango, jalapeno and garlic and puree. Add the lime/lemon juice, honey, and cilantro and blend. Season with salt and pepper. Depending on how hot you want your sauce add anywhere from ½ to all of the jalapeno pepper.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
3. In a bowl place the shrimp along with 2 tablespoons of the mango sauce and salt and pepper. Thread shrimp on to metal skewers.
4. Grill the shrimp on one side for 2-3 minutes, turn and grill for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately.

(You may serve this shrimp several ways. Over a bed of baby greens, over pasta or rice, drizzling with remaining mango sauce.)

Yield: 4 servings – 4 shrimp per person
