Prawn and mango verrines for a sweet-and-savory appetizer

Ingredients

• 6 cooked prawns (or raw)
• salt
• pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 mango
• juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or a piece of fresh ginger)

Materials

• 6 small glasses
• 1 food chopper
• 1 frying pan
• 6 skewers

Preparation

• Peel the prawns, leaving only the tails.
• Mix the Cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and olive oil. Add the prawns and mix well. You can let them marinate before cooking if you wish.
  
• Cook the prawns in a frying pan over medium heat for about 4 minutes per side (or longer if they are raw).
• Cut the mango into cubes and set 6 aside (one per serving). You can choose 6 cubes that are the same size.
  
• Thread a prawn and then a mango cube onto a skewer.
• Put the remaining mango pieces, lime juice and ginger in a food chopper and blend until smooth.
  
• Divide the mixture among the glasses, then place the skewers on top, with the mango facing down.
• And there you have it, your verrines are ready!
  

Observations

What can I use instead of mango coulis?
You can use guacamole instead of mango coulis, for example. You can also replace the mango cubes with cherry tomatoes if you wish.

What can I use instead of prawns?
You can use scallops instead of prawns, for example.

How should I marinate the prawns?
You can make a spicy marinade like we did, or marinate the prawns in soy sauce, honey and sesame oil, for example. Feel free to combine your favorite spices and make your own skewers.

How can I adjust the quantities for the verrines?
Would you like to make more verrines? You can keep the same amount of mango and simply use less coulis in each glass :-)
