Today’s Recipe: Spicy Mango Shrimp Tacos

Hey foodies, today I’m excited to share my latest creation with you all: spicy mango shrimp tacos! The inspiration for this dish struck me while walking through a bustling farmer’s market on a warm summer day. The vibrant colors and refreshing scents of ripe mangoes and spicy peppers sparked my culinary creativity, leading to this delicious taco recipe.

To make these flavorful tacos, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 200g of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1 tsp of smoked paprika
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 small corn tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Gather your kitchen tools:

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

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the shrimp, cumin, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped jalapeno, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Then fill each tortilla with the seasoned shrimp and mango salsa mixture.

Serve your spicy mango shrimp tacos hot and enjoy the perfect blend of sweetness from the mango, heat from the jalapeno, and savory shrimp flavors. These tacos are sure to be a hit at your next summer gathering!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 500g, with 4 servings and an average serving weight of 125g. Each serving is estimated to be around 250 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to slightly char the tortillas over an open flame for a smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the seasoned shrimp and mango salsa.

I hope you give these spicy mango shrimp tacos a try and get creative with your own twist on this recipe. Enjoy and happy cooking!
