Steps:

  • Preparation 1.Toss shrimp with salt, cayenne to taste and turmeric in a medium bowl. Cover; refrigerate for about 30 minutes. 2.Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; place the shrimp in a single layer and cook until the undersides turn salmon-pink, about 1 minute. Flip them over and cook for 1 minute more. 3.Add mango, scallion greens and basil and cook, stirring, until the shrimp is just cooked and starts to barely curl, 1 to 2 minutes. Tips & Notes • Tip: How to cut a mango: • 1. Slice both ends off the mango, revealing the long, slender seed inside. Set the fruit upright on a work surface and remove the skin with a sharp knife. • 2. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice • the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two large pieces. • 3. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side. • 4. Cut the fruit into the desired shape.
