Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa: A vibrant and flavorful taco recipe perfect for a fun weeknight meal. Juicy, seasoned shrimp paired with a sweet and zesty mango salsa create a delightful tropical taste experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  3. While shrimp cooks, prepare the mango salsa. In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and stir gently.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by warming them directly on a dry skillet for a few seconds per side.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with cooked shrimp and top generously with the fresh mango salsa.

Notes

  • For extra spice, leave the seeds in the jalapeño when making the salsa.
  • If you don’t have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with parsley.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like avocado, shredded lettuce, or a drizzle of crema.
