Photo: Liz Andrew/Styling: Erin McDowell
In a perfect world, we’d live at the beach and eat fresh seafood by the ocean every night. Until our dream becomes a reality, we’ll settle for these spicy shrimp tacos with mango salsa. Close your eyes and you’re on a tropical vacation.
Makes 4 servings (12 tacos)
Start to Finish: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Mango Salsa
1 mango, finely diced
½ red onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
½ jalapeño, minced
Juice of 1 lime
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tacos
1¼ pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon chile powder
1½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)
12 yellow corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
Directions
1. Make the Salsa: In a medium bowl, stir the mango with the red onion, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice and cilantro to combine. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
2. Make the Tacos: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the chile powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink and fully cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce (if using).
4. Heat another large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, place 2 or 3 tortillas in the pan and heat until lightly browned on each side, 1 minute per side. Repeat until all tortillas are toasted.
5. Divide the cabbage among the toasted tortillas. Pile the shrimp on top and then garnish with the salsa. Serve immediately.
