    Prepare the Mango Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced mango, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

    If using shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices before frying in a skillet with oil over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked. For whitefish, season and blacken in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the taco shells or tortillas in a pan or microwave. Layer with romaine lettuce, cooked shrimp or fish, and top with mango salsa and cusabi dressing.
