Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges, for serving

How to Make Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine diced mango, chopped red onion, cilantro, diced jalapeño, lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to make the salsa. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
  3. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  4. Assemble the tacos by placing a few shrimp on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of mango salsa and a couple of slices of avocado.
  5. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
  6. Serve immediately and prepare to be amazed by the burst of flavors in every bite!

Helpful Tips:

  • Make sure to pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure they get a nice sear in the skillet.
  • Customize your tacos with your favorite toppings like shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
  • Don’t skip the honey in the salsa – it adds a touch of sweetness that balances out the heat from the jalapeño.

Variations for Mango Shrimp Tacos :

  • Not a fan of shrimp? You can use grilled chicken, fish, or even tofu as a delicious alternative.
  • Swap the mango salsa for pineapple salsa for a different fruity twist.
