Mango Shrimp Pitas Recipe

Photo by: Taste of Home Mango Shrimp Pitas Recipe

Mango, ginger and curry combine with a splash of lime juice to coat this juicy, grilled shrimp. Stuffed in pitas, the shrimp combo makes for an easy-to-hold, fabulous entree! You could also serve on a bed of rice for a less casual presentation. Beverly O'Ferrall - Linkwood, Maryland
