What do you get when you combine a recipe from one of Vancouver's best seafood restaurants, sustainably-sourced shrimp from a local seafood store, and wine from BC's Okanagan?
Coconut shrimp and mango salad inspired by Vancouver’s C Restaurant
I’ve recently had the pleasure of attending a few events, and sampling some of the delicious seafood at C Restaurant, the founding restaurant of the Vancouver Aquarium‘s Ocean Wise program. So when I found out that executive chef Robert Clark and owner Harry Kambolis had colaborated to create a cookbook called C Food, I got my hands on a copy and set out to try making a few of the recipes.
The first recipe I tried was the coconut shrimp with mango salad, and I served it as the next course to the goat cheese, roasted garlic and fig jam appetizer at my Ucluelet family reunion. I will definitely be making this recipe again. It was quite easy to prepare and the perfect summer meal: satisfying yet light, and bursting with fresh flavours.
My brother’s girlfriend picked out the wine, a Gewürztraminer from BC winery Larch Hills. It was delicious, definitely the best Gewürztraminer I’ve ever tried.
I bought the shrimp from 7 Seas seafood store in Kitsilano, and I also picked up some incredibly fresh smoked salmon that we had for another meal with a baguette, cream cheese and thinly sliced red onions (pictured above).
Serves 4
I didn’t exactly follow C’s recipe but I’ve included the original instructions.
