Today’s Recipe: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a recipe that perfectly balances sweet and spicy flavors: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. This dish is great for a casual dinner with friends or a fun weekend lunch. Let’s dive into the details of this delicious recipe!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 300g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 ripe mango (diced)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and minced)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Handful of cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • spatula
  • mixing bowl

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp until they are pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, sliced red onion, minced jalapeno, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Warm the tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Assemble your tacos by placing some shrimp in each tortilla and topping it with the mango salsa mixture. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of the sweet mango, spicy jalapeno, and juicy shrimp in every bite!

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to char the tortillas slightly over an open flame before assembling the tacos. This will add a fantastic smoky flavor to the dish and elevate the overall taste.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos a try soon! Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or protein. Have fun in the kitchen and happy cooking!
