Chilled Shrimp with Spicy Mango Mayo

I don’t know about you, but I always find chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce to be so addicting. I mean who can stop after just one? My version provides a “twist on the traditional” with lemon and fresh herb- infused shrimp served with a spicy mango mayonnaise. What a super-easy, yet elegant first course or party nibble!

Ingredients

<br>

  • 1 pound large raw shrimp 18 to 24 count, peeled and deveined with tails remaining
  • Olive oil spray I love the “Misto!”

<br>

    Shrimp Marinade

    • 2 teaspoons minced shallot
    • 1 large green onion sliced (white and green parts)
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or as desired
    • 1/8 teaspoon coarse pepper or as desired
    • Spicy Mango Mayo

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with sides with olive oil spray. In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Toss shrimp with marinade. Transfer shrimp to prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake shrimp for 7 to 8 minutes or until pink and cooked through. (Cut open one to test.) Remove shrimp to a plate to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to thoroughly chill.
    • Arrange shrimp on a decorative plate; serve with Spicy Mango Mayo.
    • Safety Note: if shrimp will not be eaten immediately (such as at a party or buffet), do make sure the plate is placed over ice. Shrimp can also be placed directly over ice, however they may become a bit watery.

    Notes

    Make Ahead and Storage Tips: shrimp may be baked earlier in the day. Cover and refrigerate. Use leftover shrimp within 1 day. Spicy Mango Mayo may be stored up to 3 days; cover and refrigerate. Stir before serving.
    Feel free to vary the size of the shrimp according to availability and preference. Adjust baking time accordingly.
    No time to make Spicy Mango Mayo? These shrimp would also be delicious served with your favorite cocktail sauce. Two of my favorite dishes using this versatile mayonnaise are Seafood Cocktail with Spicy Mango Mayo and Mango Shrimp Salad
