📝 Fat Man Tips
- Add pickled onions, a squeeze of hot sauce, or both if you’re feelin’ bold.
- Swap mango for pineapple or peaches if that’s what you’ve got—fruit + fire = win.
- These also make killer sliders if you're outta tortillas. You didn’t hear that from me.

Feeling ambitious?
Toss those shrimp on the grill or flat top for an extra layer of smoky flavor. High heat = big taste. If you're using a grill, slide them onto skewers to keep things under control—nobody wants to lose a shrimp to the grate. Grill over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until they’re pink, opaque, and lightly charred. Quick, easy, and outrageously tasty.
