Today’s Culinary Invention: Mango Coconut Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a vibrant and tropical recipe for Mango Coconut Shrimp Tacos that will transport you to a beachside paradise with every bite. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering or a fun weeknight dinner when you want to shake things up in the kitchen. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• Fresh shrimp (400g), peeled and deveined
• Canned coconut milk (200ml)
• Ripe mango, diced (1 large)
• Red onion, thinly sliced (1 small)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (a handful)
• Corn tortillas (8)
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• Skillet
• Mixing bowl
• Knife
• Cutting board
• Spatula

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a splash of olive oil. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and let them simmer in the coconut milk for a few minutes until they absorb the creamy coconut flavor.

While the shrimp are simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or in the oven. Assemble your tacos by placing a few shrimp on each tortilla, then topping them with diced mango, sliced red onion, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Serve your Mango Coconut Shrimp Tacos warm and enjoy the tropical flavors bursting in every bite. This dish is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner with friends and family, and it’s sure to be a hit at any summer get-together.
