    I'm over obsessed with this mango salsa. Colorful, crunchy and refreshing, it combines sweet & savoury flavors in a delicate and harmonious way. I love adding some crunchy pomegranate seeds, but if they're not in season you can easily skip them altogether. Mango is at its very best right now, choose one that still has a firm flesh, it will be easier to cube and the sweetness won't overpower the other ingredients.

    I've brushed the king prawns with a little sriracha sauce and a pinch of chili flakes. The spicy kick brings this dish to a whole new level if you ask me.  Spicy stuff is not your things? No worries, I'm not here to judge. Just take the sriracha out, and if you want substitute it with light soy sauce or toasted sesame oil, they're both great additions.

    As fancy as it looks, all you need to turn these sriracha king prawns with mango salsa into a fine-dining dish is simple easy-to-find food rings. Just fold in spoonful or two of mango salsa into the rings and top with the grilled king prawns.

    If you don't have food rings at hand,  use a small bowl and turn it upside-down on the serving plate. You can also serve this dish into tiny shot glasses to create a super pretty summery finger food.
