Summer becomes a whole new ball game when you fire up that grill, don’t you think? 🙂 I feel like summer entertainment begins and ends at the grill and the possibilities are endless and delicious! Which is why I got this amazing appetizer idea for you guys today, that’ll knock your socks off with how easy and unbelievably tasty is it! And even if you live on the other side of the world and you just stored away your grill for the next 6 months – no worries, these Mango and Grilled Shrimp Appetizers are just as easy on a regular frying pan or grill pan on the stove. After all, it ain’t a party for you guys in Down Under until you throw some shrimp on the barbie, amiright? 🙂

And nothing screams summer louder than mangoes and grilled shrimp. 🙂 Shrimp (or prawns) soaks up flavour readily and cooks quickly, and since these grilled shrimp appetizers are also very easy to prepare, they are perfect for crowds, parties and summer gatherings!

And to make it an easy and fresh appetizer idea, I’m using the mango and grilled shrimp as a flavourful topping on crackers. We LOVE TRISCUIT crackers around these parts, and these were truly the perfect pairing! These crackers are delicious on their own, but even better dressed up as sweet or savoury party appetizers. These TRISCUIT crackers come in many different flavours ranging from original to cracked pepper, gouda, sriracha etc. With so many flavors to choose from, and so many choices to top them with, TRISCUIT crackers are definitely made for more!!

My favourite way to eat them as a snack, is with hummus or cream cheese. But then, it’s even special when I top them with something grilled. Perfect as a snack, appetizer or if you’re like me, you could eat enough for a meal! TRISCUIT crackers are the perfect canvas for so many delicious toppings!

These Asian spiced, grilled shrimps are briefly marinated in Ketjap Manis (a sweet soy sauce), cayenne pepper, garlic and coriander powder and then grilled to perfection for some juicy and wickedly delicious shrimp! And then all you have to do is take your favourite-flavoured TRISCUIT cracker, spread a generous amount of hummus and top it with juicy, flavourful shrimp and thinly cut slices of fresh, sweet mango and chopped herbs. The flavours here are truly phenomenal, they are easy to make, easy to present and look impressive, and you’ve got yourself some fancy appetizers that are perfect for summer entertainment.

You can easily find TRISCUIT crackers in the cracker aisle at your local Krogers store (which for us was our local Gerbes supermarket). Which wouldn’t be as easy is deciding on which flavour(s) to buy!

A note on the shrimp (prawns) – Mr K and I LOVE eating the whole shrimp – tails and all! 🙂 As you grill the shrimp, the tails crisp up nicely. We grew up eating shrimp with tail on, as did everyone else we knew in that part of the world, but if you don’t like it, simply remove the tails before marinating the shrimp.

    I have made this recipe quite a bit for a beginning appetizer for my gourmet meals. The first time I made this I couldn’t find Ketjap Manis so I made it from scratch. I realized it tastes very much like hoisin sauce so I use that as the substitute for Ketjap Manis. I also make a homemade lavish cracker for this recipe but the triscuit works great! This is such a awesome recipe! Thank you!
