Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat. Mix the oil, lime juice, honey, coriander, salt and pepper. Brush the quails and shrimp inside and out with the seasoned oil. Peel the mango and cut it into wedges, halving 4 wedges for skewering.

2. 2

   Wrap each quail with 2 of the 8 rosemary sprigs in a slice of bacon and put it on a skewer. On both sides, thread on 1 olive, 1 shrimp and 1 piece of mango each. Drizzle the skewers with the remaining marinade and roast in the oven (middle, fan 180 °C) for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, caramelize the remaining mango wedges with butter and sugar in a pan until they glisten.

4. 4

   Brown the skewers under the highest grill setting for 2 minutes, turning twice (breast side up at the end). Deglaze the pan juices with the poultry stock and bring to a boil. Mix the starch with cold water and use it to thicken the stock. Serve the skewers with the mango wedges and the sauce.
