As the weather warms up, I find myself craving light and refreshing dishes with a kick of flavor. That’s why I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos with you today. These tacos are a fusion of tropical sweetness from mangoes and a spicy kick from jalapenos, all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend meal with friends!

Ingredients:

  • 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 50g crumbled cotija cheese
  • 6 small flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • cutting board

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper, and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

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

Warm up the tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Assemble the tacos by placing a spoonful of the mango salsa on each tortilla, followed by shrimp. Top with crumbled cotija cheese and an extra sprinkle of cilantro.
