Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for salsa)
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: crumbled queso fresco or feta, sliced avocado, lime wedges, sour cream or crema

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill shrimp in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  5. Warm tortillas on the grill about 20 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred. Keep covered with a towel.
  6. Assemble tacos by placing 3-4 shrimp on each tortilla, topping with mango salsa and optional toppings. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  7. Serve immediately with preferred sides and enjoy.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking. If mango is not ripe, add a splash of honey to salsa. Warm tortillas properly to avoid breaking. Salsa is best fresh but can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
