 The Perfect Pairing: Grilled Prawns with Mango Salsa
Inspired by beachy Aussie flavours and tropical sunshine, this dish is a zesty, juicy, and oh-so-fresh match for our Grenache Rosé. Sweet mango, tangy lime, buttery avocado, and a kiss of heat from red onion—this salsa was born to dance with a crisp Rosé.

Ingredients

For the Prawns:

1 lb large prawns, peeled & deveined

2 tbsp olive oil

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 1 lime

2 garlic cloves, minced

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

2 ripe mangos, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small purple onion, finely chopped

1 ripe avocado, diced

Juice of 1 lime

Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt to taste

Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (if you like it spicy)

Directions :
Marinate the Prawns
Toss prawns in olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let them soak in the flavour for 15–20 minutes.

Make the Salsa
Combine mango, bell pepper, onion, avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Chill in the fridge while the grill heats up.

Grill the Prawns
Fire up the BBQ or grill pan to medium-high. Grill prawns 2–3 minutes per side until they’re pink, juicy, and just a bit charred.

Plate & Pour
Serve prawns over a generous spoonful of mango salsa, pop open a bottle of Grenache Rosé, and head to your favourite sunny spot.

Why It Works:
The juicy mango and bright lime echo the vibrant fruit in the wine, while the prawns bring a savoury contrast that keeps each bite (and sip) exciting. Want to take it up a notch? Try a sweetened or carbonated version of this Rosé for a tropical twist.

Final Sips:
Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, an afternoon patio chill, or a full-on backyard fiesta, this pairing is a total crowd-pleaser. Light the grill, turn up the tunes, and let our Australian Grenache Rosé bring the sunshine—no passport required.
