Mango Salsa and Shrimp

For dinner Peter suggested we saute some shrimp in butter and lemon juice...this is what I ended up doing.

1/2 cup sherry or dry white cooking wine

1 bunch of scallions, chopped

juice of one lemon

1 or 1/2 jalapeño (depending on your spice tolerance) 

1 mango, diced

1 cup of cherry tomatoes, diced

1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped

2 cups fresh spinach

amount 1/2 pound of shrimp (I used farm raised, frozen, pre-cooked)

salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare pasta, rice, polenta or quinoa to serve with Mango Salsa Shrimp. 

2. Melt butter and saute garlic. Add sherry, bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Add scallions, lemon juice, mango, jalapeño and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add tomatoes, cilantro simmer for 2-5 minutes. Add shrimp and spinach, cook till shrimp is warm and spinach is barely wilted.
