The presentation of this dish is beautiful, and the sweeter flavor of the sunset butter is a nice contrast to the bolder BBQ spices used in the seared tomatoes and shrimp.

  • 10 10 Jumbo Shrimp

  • 4 4 Roma Tomatoes, cut in half

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Ghee or Melted Butter

  • 1 Tsp 1 BBQ Spices

  • 2 2 Corn Husks

  • 4 4 Skewers, soaked in warm water (optional)

  • Champagne® Mango Sunset Butter

  • 1 1 Orange, freshly squeezed

  • 1 Oz 1 Carrot, peeled & sliced thin

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Fresh Ginger, minced

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Fresh Shallot, minced

  • 1 Pinch 1 White Pepper

  • 1 Pinch 1 Brown Sugar

  • 1/4 Cup 1/4 White Wine

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Ghee (may substitute with butter)

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Butter

  • Native Wild Rice
  • 4 Oz 4 Wild Rice (we prefer Lundberg Wild Blend Rice, whole grain & gluten free)

  • 1 Pint 1 Chicken Stock

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Butter

  • 1 Tbsp 1 Fresh Herb Mix (equal portions of mint, sage, parsley, thyme, and oregano), rinsed & chopped

  • Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Shrimp & Tomatoes
  • With a small amount of ghee, add a good amount of bbq spices and lightly coat the jumbo shrimp.
  • Place 5 seasoned shrimp each on two optional skewers or simply place them in a cast iron skillet and sear until just right. Should have a little bit of blackened crust upon them. Remove and set aside.
  • Season the halved roma tomatoes in ghee and bbq spice mix, then sear flesh side down until slightly charred. Perfect! Set aside.
  • Champagne® Mango Sunset Butter
  • Sauté mango, carrot, ginger, and shallot in the fresh squeezed orange juice and 1 tbs ghee until soft.
  • Deglaze with white wine, add brown sugar, white pepper, and remaining 1 tbs of butter.
  • Reduce to sauce consistency, purée, then strain.
  • Native Wild Rice
  • Bring chicken stock, butter, and fresh herbs to a boil in a small pot. Add wild rice and continue to boil for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Cover and bring heat down to a simmer for about 45 minutes until rice is cooked.
  • Plating Instructions
  • Form a bowl with the corn husk in center of the plate.
  • Pile a good amount of native blend wild rice in center of husk.
  • Prop the skewered shrimp at an angle from plate to top of husk.
  • Garnish with open-faced campfire tomatoes and drizzle mango-sunset butter fancifully. Be sure to coat the bbq spiced jumbo shrimp!

Notes

  • Tip: If Champagne® mango season is over, we also recommend using another Ciruli Brothers™ mango such as Kent or Keitt.
