Remember those delectable mangoes? They have found their way into nearly every meal we've eaten in the past week! So very finger-lickin' good.

It was a close tie when deciding which was our most favorite way to eat mangoes so far (discounting plainly sliced as too obvious). What we are calling Ambrosia - mangoes, pineapple, strawberries, coconut - is very refreshing and a wonderful way to end a meal but the Mango Salsa won out in the end. Delicious and so very simple.



I have made a lot of Fruit Salsas in my day, some more successful than others, some much more complicated than others too! This one was simplicity itself and the taste was out of this world! How to make this marvel of mangoes? To one half of a tub of fresh salsa add one chopped mango.
The End.

Really. It was that easy! In case you haven't noticed in my foodie posts, I adore simplicity. (To view all posts about food click the lavender category words saying I'm all at Sea with this Recipe at the end of this post) This particular recipe is a new personal favorite as I believe a person can never consume too much fresh salsa and this one has fruit in it too!!! Gosh, we probably ate our full requirements for fruits and veggies before dinner last night! Which is rather embarassing in a piggy sort of way but mango season only comes around once a year, right?

Speaking of dinner...our second favorite recipe comes into play here. This one is so good it brought other boaters out on their decks hollering for just one taste. As if that wasn't evidence enough, they started offering items in trade. Funniest one had to be the big stinkpot power boater who offered rice. Rice?!? In exchange for this?
I think not!



Again simplicity rules. Take one skewer and poke it into the tail end of a shrimp. Add one piece of sausage (we used a cajun smoked) and poke the head end of the shrimp onto the skewer next. You have now encased the sausage in shrimp. Grill till shrimp are pink, unless you've used Key West Pinks, then grill till shrimp are firm to touch.

I really need a potluck or cocktail party just for these.
