Shrimp Tacos Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Make the Mango Salsa

    In another bowl, mix together the diced mango, red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side or until slightly toasted.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a few grilled shrimp on each tortilla, top with mango salsa, and add raw salsa (salsa cruda) made from diced tomatoes mixed with salt and lime juice.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
