In a separate mixing bowl, combine diced mango, sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well to create a refreshing salsa.

Warm up the corn tortillas in the skillet or over an open flame on the stovetop for a charred flavor.

To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the mango salsa on each tortilla, top with shrimp, and garnish with extra cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
