June is the beginning of mango season here in Hawaii. What better way to celebrate than to prepare a shrimp recipe where mango is the star. I love this recipe because it allows the sweet juices of mango to mingle with locally grown large shrimp, coconut, and fresh lime juice for a sweet taste of the tropics.
