Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Prepare and measure all your ingredients. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined, the mango, avocado, tomato, celery, and onion are diced, and the garlic and ginger are minced or chopped finely.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped ginger root to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the diced celery and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until it softens slightly.
- Add the diced mango to the skillet and stir to combine. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until the mango starts to soften.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine everything well.
- Cook the shrimp for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Sprinkle the shredded or grated dried coconut meat over the shrimp mixture. Stir well to combine, allowing the coconut to evenly coat the ingredients.
- Add the diced tomato to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the tomato starts to soften slightly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the diced avocado.
- Serve the Mango Coconut Shrimp immediately, garnished with additional dried coconut meat or fresh herbs if desired.
