I loved these! I had to eat it very carefully because I react to mango if it touches my lips when I eat it, but I just had to make this because I love mangoes and the recipe name makes me giggle. I don't have an outdoor grill, and my indoor grill plates were in the dishwasher, so I had to broil these instead (not as pretty, but just as tasty). Loved the tang of the lime with the sweetness of the mango and the caramelly sugar. I'll definitely be making these again (eating very carefully, of course, lol), thanks for posting!

Very nice. Used as a side for ribs.
