Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught if possible)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 8–10 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional garnish: crumbled queso fresco, extra lime wedges, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat evenly and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and gently toss. Add salt to taste and set aside.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Place shrimp on the grill or pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Avoid overcrowding.
  5. Warm tortillas over the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble tacos by placing 3-4 shrimp on each tortilla, topping generously with mango avocado salsa, and adding optional garnishes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Marinate shrimp for at least 10 minutes for best flavor. Handle avocado gently to prevent bruising. Warm tortillas just before serving to keep them soft. For gluten-free option, use corn tortillas. Salsa is freshest the day it’s made; store leftovers tightly covered to prevent browning.
