Today’s Fusion Creation: Spicy Mango Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of mango with a spicy kick in a delicious fusion dish. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering or casual dinner with friends. So, let’s jump right into making these mouthwatering spicy mango tacos!

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
  • 250g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 6 small tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • spatula

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding the shrimp. Season the shrimp with cumin, salt, and pepper, then cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced mango and jalapeno. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mango is slightly caramelized and the jalapeno is softened. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and squeeze the lime juice over the mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer for another minute.

Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or on a flat griddle. Once warmed, assemble the tacos by spooning the shrimp and mango mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.

Serve the spicy mango tacos immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in each bite!

Final Details:

– Total Weight of Cooked Dish: 800g
– Number of Servings: 4
– Average Weight of One Serving: 200g
– Approximate Calorie Count per Serving: 350 calories

One unique tip for this dish is to sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top for an added crunch and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet mango and spicy shrimp.

I hope you give these spicy mango tacos a try and make them your own with any additional toppings or spices you love. Happy cooking!
