Mango rice Pilaf topped with Skewered Shrimp

We come now to the second installment in Chef Ji's cooking adventure extravaganza. Today's dish is lemon grilled shrimp on a bed of mango and pepper rice.  As you see below the presentation is impeccable and the Chef obviously possesses natural talent in this area.

Moving on to the taste. First the pros:

Great flavor in the rice. The mangoes provide some tanginess, while the peppers provide some crunch and sweetness. The carrots fit in nicely as well.

The skwered shrimp is grilled to a perfect crisp on the outside while keeping the meat juicy. This is key for shrimp, as it is easy to overcook and dry out the meat.

Cons:

The rice is a bit soft, almost mushy, probably somewhat overcooked.

Overall I enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to whatever is whipped up next in Chef Ji's kitchen. Bye for now...

VERDICT: 7.0/10

P.S. great picture!
