Shrimp and Mango Salsa Tacos
Shrimp and Mango Salsa Tacos is the perfect summer recipe! Delicious flavor packed shrimp with that fresh mango salsa, and who doesn’t love a taco?
I just love how the vibrant colors of the mango salsa with the beautiful mangos, purple onions, and cilantro.
These babies do have a slight bite to them, but the great thing is that you can control just how much! Simply add more/less jalapeño, and choose to use a different heat of taco seasoning. It’s that easy to get the taste you want! If you add a Chili Lime Cream Dip it will also help to cool it down a bit. BUT… the best thing about this meal is that it takes less than 20 minutes to create! Add some tortilla chips on the side to enjoy some crunch with your leftover salsa and you have dinner for you and your family.
How to Make Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa:
- Rinse shrimp with cool water.
- Make sure to lay flat and pat dry after shrimp are cleaned.
- While shrimp is drying heat olive oil in a large skillet to medium-high heat.
- Place shrimp in a medium-sized bowl and toss in taco seasoning. Taco seasoning has all those great spices: chili powder, cumin, etc. Mix together until the shrimp is well coated. Place the shrimp in the pan, stirring often. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until shrimp is fully cooked. DO NOT OVERCOOK YOUR SHRIMP.
- Meanwhile, you can always prepare the salsa by combining all ingredients listed together.

Notes
Just the colors alone in this dish are enough to make anyone drool! I love how fresh and light this meal is, giving it a nice mix of heat and texture. This is also a meal that works great in groups! Something you can use for your next outdoor BBQ perhaps?
The kiddos got a kick out of the fact that we were eating FRUIT salsa for dinner. But hey, whatever works right? This is also a great meal that can be thrown together in a jiffy! Just prepare the salsa ahead of time, and then all you have to do is cook the shrimp up for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner. The salsa should stay well in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days.
