Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen mangoes instead of fresh mangoes?

While fresh mangoes are typically recommended for optimal flavor, you can use frozen mangoes if fresh ones are not available. Thaw them before blending to achieve the desired consistency for the sauce.

Can I substitute chipotle chile with another type of chili?

If you can’t find chipotle chile, you can use other types of chili powder or adobo sauce to add a smoky and spicy flavor to the dish. Adjust the quantity according to your taste preferences.

Can I omit the bacon from the recipe?

Yes, if you prefer a vegetarian or bacon-free version, you can omit the bacon. You can enhance the flavor by adding additional spices or seasonings to the dish.

How do I know when the shrimp is cooked through?
