MANGO-BASIL SHRIMP SKILLET

Mango-Basil Shrimp Skillet image

Marrying mango and basil was the goal of this dish. I think you'll enjoy how every ingredient keeps its own distinct flavor, and yet this is a nice blend of the flavors together. You can also enjoy this dish on top of a bed of rice or pasta, rather than mixed in.
