Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Greetings, fellow food lovers! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that embodies the vibrant flavors of summer while adding a spicy twist. These Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos are a delightful blend of sweet and savory, with a kick of heat that will leave your taste buds tingling. Perfect for a casual gathering or a cozy night in, this dish is sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 50g red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • Salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder

To bring this recipe to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • spatula

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and seasoning the shrimp with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced mango, red onion, jalapeno, and lime juice. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mango is slightly caramelized and the onions are translucent. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together to combine the flavors.

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the shrimp and mango mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 150g, and contains approximately 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a touch of honey to the mango mixture for an extra hint of sweetness that balances out the spiciness of the jalapeno.

I encourage you to give these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos a try and feel free to customize them to your liking. Whether you prefer extra heat, more avocado, or a squeeze of extra lime, make this dish your own and enjoy the fresh and bold flavors it has to offer. Cheers to delicious cooking adventures!
