Shrimp with homemade mango chutney

For the shrimp:

16 shrimps
1 squash
1 clove of garlic
oil

For the Chutney:

1 ripe mango
1 small onion
1/2 chili (take out the seeds)
1 lime
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon (or a little mor) of oil
Salt and pepper

Start with the Chutney as it gets better when it is left to set for while.
Cut the mango, chili and onion in to pieces, squeeze the juice from the lime.




Mix in sugar, oil, salt and pepper (go by taste).
Here I needed to resist the urge to blend it all in a blender. But i did as the recipe said. Good girl.


Peel and rince the shrimp (if you're insecure how, use youtube, I will spare you the details)
Chop the garlic and the squash.

Fry the garlic, shrimp and squash in some oil, for a couple of minutes until the shrimp are pink and the squash looks delicious.

Serve with rice and chutney for a main course, or with just the chutney for a starter.
With rice it looks like this;

The taste? Really good!
Both me and the husband was sort of surprised how good it was. The sweetness of the mango and the acid of the lime worked really well with the rather bland squash and the lovely shrimp.
Simple, easy and really tasty.
And i didn't stray of the recipe once!

I found this recipe in the book "Bordet fanger" by Norwegian food writer Andreas Viestad.

Next project is marmelade. Looks hard!

As we say in Norway when the food is served;

Velbekomme!
