Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup mango, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Crema or sour cream for topping
Instructions
- Prep the shrimp: In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Chef Tip: Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for a flavor boost!
- Fire up the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop until hot.
- Grill the shrimp: Place the marinated shrimp on the grill (or grill pan) and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they’re pink and opaque.
- Warm the tortillas: While the shrimp are grilling, warm corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side.
- Make your mango salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Give it a gentle stir to blend the flavors.
- Assemble the tacos: Place the grilled shrimp onto the warm tortillas, and top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Drizzle with crema or sour cream.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the tacos with lime wedges and your favorite salsa or hot sauce. Enjoy every last bite!
