I finally feel worthy enough to post a plate on here for once. Photo quality scales on here so doesn’t look as great but just wanted feedback. The secret ingredient was Mango and it was used in every part of this dish.
Love the idea and it sounds delicious. My only advice would be: if you list it first, make it prominent.
I can see the shrimp but I should be able to SEE the shrimp

This is visually appealing, but as an item of food I’m a little confused by this. Read it first time around and missed the first ingredient, thought it was a dessert. Now I see it has shrimp in it and I’m a little confused, not because it’s got lots of sweet things in it, but because it doesn’t also have additional savoury elements. The plating obviously doesn’t help in that regard, one could reasonably call this dish Prominent Mango, Hidden Shrimp.
In my opinion, dragonfruit is pointless, has very little taste, and only point of it is that it’s a cool colour. Think it could be removed entirely. Skin on the mango needs to come off – I understand that it looks nice, but it makes for a bad eating experience. Would also like an additional savoury element to push it away from dessert. Toasted coconut would be an easy addition, but I’m sure other things would work too (some miso, crushed peanuts, crispy chilli, pickled mango).
In terms of pure appearance, I’d bring the shrimp up to highlight them, and keep playing around with dishes, at the moment it’s got a bit of a muesli and yoghurt vibe going.

The granite is put on top like a bit to fast.
The main point is You need to work the xolors of your salsa and consistency. The red is way to pale.
If you succeed that it will be superb
