| 1. Slice up two plantains and sauté in one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. | 2. Brown one side (about two-three minutes) then turn each slice and brown the other side. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. | 3. In the same pan, pour one can of Mango nectar and simmer on medium low heat until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes or more depending on the thickness of your canned nectar. | 4. Meanwhile peel the mangoes and cut into one-inch chunks. I like to make a circular cut around the mango, top to bottom, following the edge of the mango seed. Then cut one-inch slices across the grain on both flat sides of the seed. With a long knife, cut your chunks away from the seed. (Everyone has their own way of cutting up a mango.). | 5. Add shrimp to the mango reduction and simmer until they turn pink and opaque. | 6. A good way to test a reduction sauce is to pull a flat edged spatula across the pan. If the sauce holds back for an instant, as shown here, you have a nice not-too-thick-not-too-thin reduction. | 7. Set the shrimp and sauce aside in a bowl to cool down a bit. | 8. Then carefully fold in your mango, plantains and cilantro. This is a very easy, fruity dish that can be served as a light lunch or an appetizer. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
