Today’s Delight: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

As the weather warms up, my taste buds crave something fresh, bold, and slightly exotic. That’s why I decided to share my latest creation with you all today: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. This dish is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that will transport you to a sunny tropical beach with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 200g of shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Pinch of cumin
  • Pinch of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 small tortillas
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • serving bowl
  • spatula

Preparation:

Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the red onion and jalapeño. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Add the diced mango, lime juice, and cilantro. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mango is slightly softened.

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Divide the shrimp and mango mixture among the tortillas and serve immediately.

Tips:

For an extra kick of heat, try adding a sprinkle of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to your tacos. The spiciness pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the mango.
