Preparation
- Step 1
Pour buttermilk into medium bowl, and add ginger, chilies, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Add shrimp, and toss thoroughly with a wooden spoon to coat. Marinate 1 hour in refrigerator.
- Step 2
Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Thread 3 shrimp and 2 pieces of mango onto each skewer, alternating shrimp and mango.
- Step 3
Prepare a fire in the grill. When flames have subsided and coals are glowing, grill shrimp 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until shrimp is opaque. Serve each skewer with a wedge of lime.

Whatever you do, do not marinate overnight. The shrimp breaks down and gets soggy. Much better when I shortened the marinade time.
Pretty tasty but I substituted Greek yogurt for the buttermilk and pineapple for the mango.
These were delicious, but shrimp & mango have different cooking times on the grill so it's better to have shrimp only skewers and mango only skewers.
This recipe was outstanding as is — so simple, so tasty. Absolutely perfect. I did 4 shrimp per skewer and had ten skewers in one sitting. I could not get enough! Adding this to the regular summer rotation!
Shrimp were mushy! Bought good shrimp, I think. Followed instructions, especially the brief time in marinade. Not sure what went wrong, but this made a sad and embarrasing appetizer. I wouldn't risk it again.
Left the shells on for the grill, which helped keep in moisture and flavor, and bumped up the chili, ginger and garlic per other commenters. Also added zest of a lime to marinade. This dish was a hit. Not sure what the buttermilk is adding, wondered if it would work better with olive oil instead, but that’s for another day.
