Ingredients

Spicy Shrimp

  • 1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Mango Salsa

  • 2 mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 2 tbsp minced red onion
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Tacos

Instructions

  • Combine shrimp and all other spicy shrimp ingredients in a bowl. Let the shrimp sit and marinate on the counter for 15 minutes.
  • While the shrimp is marinating, prepare all the mango salsa ingredients and mix them together.
  • If you are having the avocado crema, make this now too.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high.
  • Once water sizzles when dripped in, add the shrimp and all the marinade to the skillet.
  • Cook, stirring frequently until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to a bowl.
  • Cook down the sauce until it's quite thick, 1 minute. Pour the thickened sauce over the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp in the taco shells with the mango salsa and avocado crema.
