Yet another fantastic meal from Epi Curious's public cookbook. Words can hardly describe the taste from this combination of fresh fruits and seafood! It was a Pacific Island Luau in our mouths! My pictures didn't turn out as pretty per se as AmandaInOz's because I let my mangos get a little ripe... The only addition I made was adding some cut strawberries because my little girl gave me the "Dad!!! I just picked them!!!" look. And it turned out to be a tasty addition. I ended up using this as a main course served with a spinach salad w/ feta, basil strawberries and red onion (recipe #249070 #249070). All in all I wouldn't change a thing with this recipe! And we're definitely having it again... Soon! Made for Sping PAC 2010.
