Introducing: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that I recently whipped up in my kitchen — Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. These tacos are a delightful fusion of sweet and spicy flavors that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise. Perfect for a summer gathering or a quick weeknight dinner, these tacos are sure to be a hit with the whole family.

Ingredients:

  • 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 corn or flour tortillas
  • Salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

To start, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Cook the shrimp in the skillet until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

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

Warm the tortillas in the skillet for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Assemble your tacos by placing a few shrimp in each tortilla, topping with the mango salsa, and garnishing with extra cilantro.

Tips for a Flavorful Twist:

For an extra kick of heat, add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the shrimp before cooking. The sweetness of the mango salsa balances out the spice beautifully!
