Summer Sensation: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos Recipe

Today’s Creation: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

As the weather warms up and summer approaches, I find myself craving fresh and vibrant flavors to enjoy in the sunshine. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest creation with you today: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. This dish is a perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

To bring these tacos to life, you’ll need a variety of unique ingredients, including juicy mangoes, succulent shrimp, fiery jalapeños, and zesty lime juice. The bold flavors of the ingredients come together harmoniously to create a mouthwatering taco filling that will leave you craving more.

• 2 mangoes (approx. 400g)
• 500g shrimp
• 2 jalapeños
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 small red onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small tortillas

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• skillet
• wooden spoon

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a drizzle of oil. Sauté the diced red onion and minced garlic until fragrant, then add the shrimp to the pan. Season the shrimp with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until they turn pink and opaque.

In a separate bowl, combine the diced mangoes, jalapeños, and lime juice. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Once the shrimp are cooked, add the mango mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Allow the flavors to meld together for a few minutes before removing the skillet from the heat.

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Spoon the spicy mango shrimp mixture onto each tortilla and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite.

This recipe yields approximately 8 tacos, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos is estimated to be around 300 calories.

One clever tip for enhancing the flavor of these tacos is to marinate the shrimp in a mixture of lime juice and chili powder for added zest before cooking. This will give the shrimp an extra kick of flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet mango salsa.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos a try and make them your own with your favorite toppings and garnishes. They’re sure to become a new favorite in your summer recipe rotation. Enjoy!
