Five stars for flavor and simplicity of preparation. The flavors of the Spicy Mango Shrimp, served with the coconut-lime rice are outstanding. For what I consider a quick and easy recipe(s) this is excellent -- great for family week day meal, and nice for company. Only change was to increas the cilantro to 1/2 C and lime juice to 4 TBS -- also increased lime zest and lime juice in the rice. Served with roasted asparagus. Will definitely make again.

We have a special Valentine's Day dinner with 12 other people. This year's recipe was the spicy mango shrimp and it was a huge hit. The chef said that he prepared it exactly as stated in the recipe. Each bite was a mix of wonderful tastes and one of the guests usually doesn't eat rice and she finished every morsel. Kudos!

GREAT FLAVORS! Hint:have everything chopped & ready to go before you saute. Took awhile to chop everything, but worth the work. Doubled the lime juice and cilantro tasted better. Must do the toasted coconut on top brings all the the flavors together. Serve over the coconut lime rice. All 4 of my kids gobbled this up!
