Outstanding! I used shrimp only, and I honestly did not miss the other meats. I also skipped the rice. The flavor from the marinade is incredible. I followed the recipe for that part exactly, using Ellie's Jamaican Spice Mixture for the seasoning. This is sure to become a summer staple for me, and I like that I can switch up the proteins and it'll still be delicious. Thanks so much!!

This is fantastic! We made it for a Caribbean-themed Father's Day dinner (complete with Pussers Painkillers - yum!) and it was a HUGE hit. My dad, who is a great cook and prefers his own food to even restaurants, couldn't stop saying, "Mmmm" long enough to say "Thank you!" This is definitely a keeper, though we had the same issue as others with the mango falling off. The ones tucked into the onions worked the best.

These were great. I used the Jamaican Spice Mixture suggested & it was perfect. I made as per the recipe, except that I left out the shrimp & forgot to put the onion onto the skewers :oops: The only problem I had was that the mango chunks cooked very quickly & fell off the skewers as we were eating, but it wasn't a big deal for us. I made these as part of an Iron Chef-style mango challenge for a dinner party last weekend. I'm so glad I finally got to try this recipe, as I ran out of time during ZWT3. Thanks for this keeper.
