Mango shrimps sleeping on an arugula bed


I went to the grocery store today and picked up some goodies including "President's Choice Blue Menu Mango Vinaigrette." I had the intention of using it as a meat marinade today but I had no meat...instead I found a dozen jumbo shrimps in the freezer. Thus, mango shrimps was born! I bought one bunch of arugula and had forgotten that if I don't get the organic baby arugula, it's SOOOOO bitter. However, the sweetness of the mango sauce evens it out.

Ingredients (serves 2):
12 jumbo shrimp, thawed
2 leaves of chopped fresh basil
sea salt, pepper, garlic power, paprika to taste
2 tsp. of soy sauce
3 tbsp. of mango vinaigrette
6 leaves of arugula
1 tsp. of lemon juice

Directions:

In a bowl, marinade shrimp with basil, sea salt, pepper,paprika, lemon juice and stir.
Heat sauce pan with olive oil at med-low heat, put shrimp in and cook for 2 minutes while continually stirring. Pour in mango vinaigrette and it's OK to be generous! Add soy sauce and keep stirring for 2 more minutes.

Wash and cut arugula leaves and plate it. Put shrimp on top. I added some strips of proscuitto on top as well to balance out the strong taste of arugula.
