Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for cooking
• 8 oz. shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• 1 lime, for zest and juice

How to Make Shrimp and Pancake Stack

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.
6. In a separate skillet, melt a little butter over medium heat and add the shrimp. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
7. To assemble, stack one pancake on a plate, top with a few shrimp, and sprinkle with diced mango and chopped herbs. Repeat with remaining pancakes and shrimp.
8. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your shrimp are fresh and properly cooked; they should be pink and firm.
• Don’t overmix the pancake batter; this will keep your pancakes fluffy.
• Adjust the thickness of your pancakes by adding more or less milk.
• Let your cooked pancakes rest on a wire rack to keep them from getting soggy.

Easy Variations

• Swap the mango for pineapple or kiwi for a tropical twist.
• Try adding spices like cayenne pepper or paprika to the shrimp for an extra kick.
• Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for a healthier option.
• Top with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A light citrus salad to complement the flavors.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for those who enjoy a classic brunch pairing.
• A chilled glass of mimosa or iced coffee to wash it all down.
