Today’s Flavorful Creation: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

As the weather warms up, I find myself craving light and refreshing dishes with a kick of spice. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. These tacos are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend lunch with friends.

Ingredients:

  • fresh shrimp (300g)
  • ripe mango, diced (1 medium)
  • jalapeno, finely chopped (1)
  • lime, juiced (1)
  • garlic, minced (2 cloves)
  • ground cumin (1 tsp)
  • chili powder (1 tsp)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • corn tortillas (8)
  • fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the shrimp, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped jalapeno, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a flavorful mango salsa.

Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for a minute on each side until they are soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with the spicy shrimp, top with mango salsa, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 112g, with approximately 200 calories per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the shrimp in the spice mixture for 15-30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavors even more.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or add a squeeze of extra lime for a zesty twist. Happy cooking!
