Spicy Mango Shrimp, Stir Fried Veggies, and Caribbean Jerk Potatoes

Happy President's Day,

Every Christmas, my in-laws make a non traditional Christmas dinner.  Steak and shrimp - who doesn't love that?  One Christmas my Father In-Law marinaded the shrimp is a spicy mango marinade by KC Masterpiece, and since then I have been obsessed with this marinade.  I put it on everything.

For this weekend dinner, we have prepared an island themed creation that I would love to share with you.  This meal will have you dreaming you are on a beach, somewhere sunny and warm, and not buried underneath a million blankets during this cold winter!

In grilling the shrimp, I actually have a five in one griddle from Cuisinart (panini press, grill, griddle, waffle) and I love it, especially when it is freezing outside, and the charcoal grill just doesn't seem that inviting.  For the vegetables, I use a wok to stir fry veggies, which I ended up picking up from a garage sale about 20 years ago.  If you don't own a wok - you should definitely invest in one (we use it all the time).

Here is the recipe for the below meal and how to prepare it!  Here's to it being 5 o'clock somewhere!

Ingredients:

For the Vegetable Stir Fry:
1 yellow bell pepper - chopped
1 red bell pepper - chopped
1 small container of mushrooms (pick your desired flavor) - sliced
1 bunch of broccoli - just use the florets and chop
1/2 bottle of KC Masterpiece Spicy Mango Marinade
1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Directions:

Chop the bell peppers

Slice the mushrooms

Chop the broccoli florets

Toss veggies with marinade

Add EVOO to wok and allow to heat up on medium heat

Add veggies to wok and let them sweat for a few minutes

Toss the veggies with a tong and cook for another 5 minutes

Remove from wok and enjoy
Ingredients for the Caribbean Jerk Potatoes:

1/2 stick butter
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of McCormick's Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
4 large russet potatoes - cubed with skin on

Directions:
After cubing the potatoes coat the potatoes with the EVOO

Add the seasoning to the potatoes and toss

A look at the tossed potatoes

In a preheated 350 degree oven, melt the butter in a 13x9 inch pan

Lay the potatoes in one even row and bake turning over once for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown

Enjoy this yummy goodness!

Ingredients for the Shrimp:

1 lb. shrimp - de-veined, peeled, and cleaned
1 bottle of KC Masterpiece's Spicy Mango Marinade

Directions:
Prior to skewering the shrimp let the shrimp marinade in a Ziploc bag overnight.
Remove from refrigerator and let sit for 30 minutes.

Skewer the marinated shrimp 8-10 at a time

Add shrimp to the grill that is on medium to high heat for 5-7 minutes turning halfway

Enjoy the tastes of the Caribbean with these Ocean Gems!
