Panko Shrimp with Coconut Rice and Spicy Mango Salsa

When the Food Network Show Food Truck Road Trip was here a couple weeks ago I met the crew of the Mobile Moo Shu Truck and tried one of their dishes at the Elimination segment of the Show. A BulgoGi Taco. It was good. On their Facebook Page I saw an Image of a dish described as "Panko crusted shrimp, garlic coconut cream sauce, spicy mint and basil mango salsa, served on a bed of rice!" So I decided to take that as an inspiration and create something similar.

Cantonese Chicken

Yet another of those “Chicken Dump” recipes.  While the creator describes them as a “meal” they are certainly NOT that.  They are really just recipes for different marinades for some chicken and most of the marinades so far have been pretty flavorless with an extreme lack of seasoning.

The flavor of this one was ok after I doctored up the marinade by simply adding some Crushed Red Pepper to it.  To make it an actual meal required cooking some rice and even stir-frying some veggies. Just before service I drained the juices from the crockpot and placed them in a skillet to make a thickened sauce.
