Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds raw shrimp
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
1 ripe mango
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
4 tablespoons lemon vodka
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander

Steps:

Shell and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the lemon juice and salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for about 15 minutes.
Peel the mango and cut it in half-inch-thick slices.
Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet. When it is quite hot but not smoking, add the shrimp, stirring rapidly. Cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the shallots, and cook, stirring, for about 10 seconds. Add the vodka, cream, more salt and pepper if desired, and the pepper flakes. Cook over high heat about 1 minute. Add the mango and cook briefly until piping hot, not longer.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and the mango to a warm serving plate. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil for about 30 seconds, add the coriander, and spoon the sauce over the shrimp. Serve with rice.
