Grilled Shrimp & Mango Skewers

Fresh fruit and a hot grill are a match made in summer heaven. To showcase my favorite of the season’s grilled fruits (sorry, pineapple), I created these sweet and spicy grilled shrimp and mango skewers. Taking a note from my jerk shrimp and pineapple bowls, I marinated the shrimp in a fiery store-bought jerk sauce to add instant heat and spices that complement the ripe mango. The marinated shrimp gets skewered with pieces of mango and a few scallions, then grilled and glazed with a tangy mango chutney BBQ sauce.

The jerk marinade infuses the shrimp with warm spices, while the mango chutney BBQ sauce adds a sweet and smoky finish. Perfect for impromptu summer cookouts or a quick weeknight meal, these skewers are easy to assemble and pack a ton of flavor using things you might already have in the pantry. Whether you're a grilling pro or a beginner, this recipe will become a fast favorite.

If you have any leftovers, remove the shrimp, mango, and scallions from skewers and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The best way to reheat your shrimp and mango skewers would be to re-skewer them and return them to the grill, but on a slightly lower heat—you don’t want to overcook your shrimp into a rubbery mess. If you don’t want to grill again, you can also reheat the shrimp and mango in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop, but again, just be sure to reheat them low and slow.
