Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas, softened
  • Optional: sliced avocado, sour cream or crema, extra cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Toss the shrimp in the marinade until evenly coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp marinates, mix diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. Cover and chill if desired.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Place the shrimp on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred.
  5. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing 3-4 shrimp on each tortilla, spooning a generous amount of mango salsa on top, and adding optional toppings like avocado slices or sour cream. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
  7. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp longer than 15 minutes to avoid ‘cooking’ them with lime juice. Preheat grill well to get a good sear and avoid rubbery shrimp. Warm tortillas on the grill to prevent cracking. Mango salsa can be made ahead and refrigerated to meld flavors. For no grill, use a skillet or broiler.
