Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls: Various sizes for marinating the shrimp and preparing the mango salsa.
  • Cutting Board: For chopping mango, bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  • Knife: A sharp knife for dicing and chopping ingredients.
  • Citrus Juicer: For squeezing fresh lime juice (optional but handy).
  • Tongs: For handling the shrimp on the grill.
  • Spatula: For warming the tortillas.
  • Platter: For serving the tacos.
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups: For accurately measuring ingredients.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp Marinade
    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  2. Step 2: Make the Mango Salsa
    In a large bowl, combine diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
    Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and season with salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Grill the Shrimp
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
    Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers for easy grilling.
    Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the Tacos
    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until they are pliable and slightly charred.
    Place a few grilled shrimp on each tortilla.
    Top with shredded red cabbage, a generous spoonful of mango salsa, and slices of avocado.
    Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.
