Mango Honey Tarragon Shrimp over Rice

In wanting to eat a bit healthier, I sometimes turn to fish when I can afford it these days. It definitely makes my wallet a LOT lighter, but adding different proteins in my diet other than chicken is important for me. For this recipe, I purchased 2lbs of medium shrimp (about $18.00) and decided to cook them sans the pasta opting to serve it over rice. This recipe is quick, easy and oh soo good!!!

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup of Mango Vinegar (has 4% acidity for those who have gastritis)
1 Tbsp instant espresso
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Tamari sauce (I use kikkoman gluten-free brand)
1 Tbsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp fresh chopped tarragon *1
1 Nectarine finely diced*2
2 lbs of fresh shelled medium shrimp deveined
Salt to taste
Unsalted pre-cooked white rice (Instant white rice can also be used)

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, add the vinegar, honey, olive oil, tamari and all spices and mix with a whisk. Pour the flavoring over the shrimp and let it sit for 10minutes.

In a large pan add the shrimp and the juices and cook until done. About 6 to 8 minutes.

Serve over the pre-cooked rice.

REVISION Corner:

*1- You can use dry tarragon about 1 teaspoon

2*- You can use a sweet fuji or gala apple when the nectarines aren’t in season
