Today’s Summer Recipe: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation inspired by the vibrant flavors of summer — Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. This dish combines the sweet juiciness of mango with the heat of spicy shrimp, creating a perfect balance of flavors for a hot summer day.

To start off, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • fresh shrimp (250g), peeled and deveined
  • ripe mango (1), diced
  • jalapeno (1), finely chopped
  • red onion (1/2), thinly sliced
  • lime (1), juiced
  • fresh cilantro (a handful), chopped
  • corn tortillas (6)
  • cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste

For kitchen tools, you’ll need:

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

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding the shrimp. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, then cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Next, warm the corn tortillas on the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Assemble your tacos by filling each tortilla with the cooked shrimp and mango salsa mixture. Feel free to garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an added burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 6 servings. Each serving is around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the shrimp in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking. This will infuse the shrimp with even more flavor and give them a juicy texture.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or additional spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
