Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

White Wine & Mango Shrimp Skewers

White Wine Mango Shrimp

Even though summer grilling recipes are every which way you look, I’m still not over grilling.  In fact, I’m so much in the middle of it that I dreamed up a summery marinade that I plan on using straight through the winter when I’m longing for sunshine.

This recipe is a sweet and savory combination of pinot grigio {or any white wine}, mango, onion, and garlic that completely compliments the skewer components. Leftover skewers also keep well in the fridge and can be served hot or cold the next day.

Although I received compensation to review wine provided by The Wine Bar, the recipe and opinions in this post are completely my own and based on my experience.

There’s something about organizing kitchen cabinets at home and presenting in front of a first-time crowd at work that put an extra pep in my step today.  I borderline skipped to Whole Foods this evening, enjoying the slightly crisp air and an even more crisp mind.

The last thing I wanted to do was fog everything up with a heavy dinner.  I wanted light and flavorful.  Seafood, fresh veggies, and herbs would do the trick.  Seafood, fresh veggies, and herbs… always do the trick.

Add music, breeze-filled windows, and quality time in the kitchen – it was the best weeknight I’ve had in quite some time.  I got to cooking to the tune of this album.

And when it was all said and done, I was left with the exact dinner I had in mind sitting front of me, ready to photograph.  It was lovely.
