Taste of Summer: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m excited to share this recipe for Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos. The combination of sweet mango, spicy shrimp, and flavorful toppings makes this dish perfect for a summer gathering or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

• 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• knife
• cutting board

To start, season the shrimp with cumin, paprika, and salt. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice to make the salsa. Mix well and set aside.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill pan for about 30 seconds on each side until they are heated through and slightly charred.

To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the mango salsa on each tortilla, top with shrimp, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of extra cilantro. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

This recipe makes 8 tacos, with each taco weighing approximately 120 grams. One serving is two tacos, coming in around 240 calories.

A fun tip to add extra flavor to these tacos is to marinate the shrimp in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and chili powder for an hour before cooking. This will give the shrimp a zesty kick that pairs perfectly with the sweet mango salsa.

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 and make them your own. Happy cooking!
