Mango Salsa

1 mango, finely diced

½ red onion, minced

1 garlic clove, 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

1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)

1. Make the mango 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.

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. Toast the tortillas.

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.

Divide the cabbage among the toasted tortillas. Pile the shrimp on top and then garnish with the salsa. Serve immediately.
