Author Notes
You have a little bit of everything in this stir fry. The coconut milk sauce, with the sharp fragrance of the cilantro, coupled with the saltiness of the shrimp/crab, crossed with the sweet mango was by far the standout characteristic of this dish. It also makes a huge portion, which will end up feeding us for three days (we finish the leftovers tonight!) on the cheap. —kohlercreated
