Mouthwatering Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos: A Flavor Explosion!

Today’s Adventure: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Hey, fellow foodies! Today I’m excited to share a recipe that brings together the best of sweet and spicy flavors in a unique and delicious way. These Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos are perfect for a summer gathering or simply to spice up your weeknight dinner routine. Let’s dive right in!

Ingredients:

• 500g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• Juice of 2 limes
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

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

I start by heating a skillet over medium heat and cooking the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. In a mixing bowl, I combine the diced mango, chopped jalapeno, sliced red onion, lime juice, and cilantro. I season everything with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, giving it a good mix to combine all the flavors.

Once the shrimp are cooked, I add them to the mango salsa mixture, tossing everything together until the shrimp are coated in that delicious spicy-sweet goodness. I warm up the tortillas in the skillet, about 30 seconds per side, until they’re soft and pliable.

To assemble the tacos, I spoon the shrimp and mango salsa mixture onto each tortilla, garnishing with extra cilantro if desired. The combination of juicy shrimp, sweet mango, and spicy jalapeno is simply irresistible!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with enough for 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, and you can expect each serving to be around 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the shrimp in a mix of lime juice, cumin, and paprika for 30 minutes before cooking. This will infuse the shrimp with even more flavor and make them extra tasty.

I encourage you to give these Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos a try and feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or additional spices. Enjoy the adventure of trying something new in the kitchen!
