Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Introduction:

Welcome to my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweetness of mango with the bold flavors of spicy shrimp in a delicious taco. This dish is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a festive weekend lunch.

Ingredients:

  • 300g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 ripe mango (diced)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and minced)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Handful of fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 corn tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • tongs

Preparation:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the shrimp with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, sliced red onion, minced jalapeno, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for a few seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the mango salsa and top with the spicy shrimp. Serve hot and enjoy the flavorful combination of sweet and spicy in each bite!

Tips:

For an extra kick of flavor, grill the shrimp instead of cooking them in a skillet. The charred smokiness will elevate the taste of the tacos!
