This recipe is fantastic! Other than cleaning the shrimp - very easy to do - quick marinade time and a perfect summer evening choice! The combination of sweet mango and red onion with the grilled shrimp was just wonderful.

This was sooo good:) the only thing we did diff was use metal kabobs and wrapped our shrimp (and scallops) in bacon, we also used minced garlic but this is definitly a recipe that I will introduce to the other family members. Our new summer favorite! Thanks Chef Ginny!

This recipe is amazing. So easy and fast. I made them for a mothers day bbq and they were a winner.

Fabulous! We forgot one main part of this recipe though...the skewers! We ended up putting the mixture on a grill pan instead and the flavor was out of this world. We will do this again as a light first course to any seafood dish. Thanks for the delicious summertime recipe!

What a great treat - we did these up for fathers day and used canned mango. My daugher had these whipped up in quick time.
