Made this delicious dish last night (Weeknight Menus Vol.2, pg. 61). Changes I made: cut down on the red pepper flakes and served it atop brown rice. Changes I would make next time: definitely remove the shrimp tails prior to cooking. Leaving them on provided quite a challenge to eat without a mess since they have a sauce on them and they are slippery suckers! And take care to cut the mango in larger chunks than you'd think. They could fall apart too much otherwise.

Looked just like the picture! I'd go as far to say it's a 9.

Wanted to add - my friend had a hard time finding jarred mango. I found it at my regular grocery store in the refrigerated pre-packaged produce section. I think Del Monte was the brand.

I went to the bookshelf and picked up my copy of Weeknight Menus, crossed my fingers, and... darn! I must have volume 1 (although the crusted snapper on page 61 looked good enough to mark for later this week). IF anyone has the time to do so, and no hurry, could you please (pretty please?!?!) post this recipe?

And, Trixxee, would I be able to use fresh mango?

"And, Trixxee, would I be able to use fresh mango? " - I didn't notice it wasn't fresh mango. I would go with the fresh myself.

If no one else posts the recipe before, I will do it tomorrow a.m. for you.

I'd be glad to type it out after I pick my son up from school today! I think you could definitely use fresh, you'd just have to come up with a 1/2 cup of liquid to replace the 1/2 cup of juice the jarred mango comes in to deglaze the pan with.

O.K., I'll let you type it up, Trixxee -

I would think with a nice ripe mango with all that flavor, we could deglaze with white wine or chix stock (I have little cans of pineapple juice, I could use also.)

Thank you in advance!

I have a recipe for a BBQ sauce using mango nectar which I was going to make in the near future-- I could just hold out a half cup from that recipe for this one.
