Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Optional: 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
  • Optional: shredded cabbage or lettuce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let sit for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the shrimp marinates, dice the mango and finely chop the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Combine all salsa ingredients with lime juice and salt in a bowl and stir gently.
  4. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  5. Grill the shrimp in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque with grill marks.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing 3-4 shrimp on each tortilla, topping with mango salsa, and adding sour cream or crema and shredded cabbage if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.

Notes

Do not over-marinate shrimp to avoid mushy texture. Use fresh mango for best salsa flavor. Warm tortillas on the grill for pliability and smoky flavor. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat level. If no grill is available, a grill pan or skillet can be used.
