Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa

Delight in the vibrant flavors of Spicy Shrimp Tacos topped with refreshing mango salsa, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, allowing every piece to soak up the rich flavors.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the shrimp in the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn a beautiful pink and are cooked through.
  3. Prepare the mango salsa by combining the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, and lime juice in another mixing bowl. Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and set aside.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or briefly microwave until they’re pliable—about 15 seconds in the microwave works wonders.
  5. Assemble your tacos: place a generous amount of shrimp into each tortilla, top with mango salsa, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately to enjoy every indulgent bite.

Notes

Make-ahead: Marinate the shrimp and prepare the mango salsa a few hours in advance for the best flavor.
