  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Preparation

Step 1

For the Lime And Mango Ratatouille: Mix mangos, green pepper and onion with liquid ingredients. Add basil, pepper and salt. Stir, and set aside.

For shrimp: Combine marinade ingredients in large bowl, add shrimp and refrigerate for to 2 to 3 hours only. (More time than that will allow the citric acid to "cook" the shrimp.)

Drain shrimp, and put on grill in smoker (preheated to 200 degrees) for 15 to 20 minutes until they are just cooked through. Test one to see if it's done. Remove from grill, and chill for several hours.

Serve with the ratatouille for dipping.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
