Grilled Garlic Shrimp with Spicy Mango-Habanero Glaze on Fried Rice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mango-Habanero Glaze:

• In a small saucepan, combine mango purée, habanero, honey, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and salt.

• Simmer over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes until thickened.

• Strain for a smoother texture (optional) and set aside.

2. Marinate & Grill the Shrimp:

• In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

• Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook shrimp for 2 minutes per side.

• In the last 30 seconds, brush with the mango-habanero glaze for a caramelized finish.

3. Make the Fried Rice:

• Heat sesame oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat.

• Sauté carrots and peas (if using) for 1 minute.

• Push veggies to the side, add the beaten egg, and scramble lightly.

• Stir in cooked rice, soy sauce, and fish sauce (if using). Toss until well combined.

• For presentation, press the rice into a greased ring mold on the plate to form a neat circle.

4. Assemble & Serve:

• Carefully remove the ring mold and arrange grilled shrimp on top of the rice.

• Drizzle extra glaze around the plate for an elegant touch.

• Garnish with fresh cilantro, habanero slices, diced mango, and lime wedges.

• Serve immediately and enjoy!
