Dragon Fruit Shrimp Cheddar Bites

Prep15 minutes Cook15 minutes Servings4 Difficulty —

Ingredients

Choose a ripe dragon fruit with bright pink skin and slight give when pressed for the best sweetness and texture.
Do not overcook the shrimp — they cook very quickly and become rubbery if left too long on heat.
For extra crunch, you can use wonton wrappers baked into cups instead of tortillas.
Sharp or aged cheddar works best here as it provides a stronger flavor contrast to the sweet dragon fruit.
You can substitute the tortillas with crispy tostada shells for an even crunchier base.
Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving for a bright finishing touch.

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and lime juice to create a glaze.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Pour the soy-honey glaze over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Add the chili flakes and cook for another minute.
Remove shrimp from heat and set aside.
Place the tortillas or flatbreads on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
Broil the tortillas for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top each cheesy tortilla with the glazed shrimp and cubed dragon fruit.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Place garlic into the Thermomix bowl and chop for 5 seconds at speed 7.
Add olive oil and sauté for 2 minutes at 120°C on speed 1.
Add the shrimp, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes at 120°C on reverse speed 1.

Remove the shrimp mixture from the Thermomix and set aside.
