Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Slotted spoon
  • paper towel

Ingredients
  

Tortillas

  • 6 small flour tortillas I like using 4-inch street taco shells

Mango Salsa

  • 1 mango peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼-1/2 habanero minced, use as much or as little as you like based on your heat preference
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • sea salt to taste

Shrimp

  • 10 oz uncooked shrimp peeled, deveined, tail off
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • sea salt to taste
  • cracked black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • avocado
  • pickled red onions
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • spicy mayo (Sriracha mayo or Bang Bang sauce)
  • fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
  • lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Mango Salsa Preparation

  • Place all of the ingredients for the mango salsa into a small mixing bowl; toss well and set aside.

Shrimp Preparation

  • Transfer the shrimp into a separate mixing bowl. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the shrimp, then season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, ensuring they're evenly coated.
  • In a skillet, heat another tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Place the shrimp into the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, depending on the size. Flip them over and cook them for another 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque and forms the shape of a C. Shrimp cooks quickly, so you'll want to keep a close eye on them. When done, transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.

Taco Assembly

  • Lay the tortilla shells down and top them with shrimp, mango salsa, and whatever else you choose!
  • Serve with lime wedges for a fresh spritz.

Notes

I use these nitrile gloves when handling hot pepper. The capsaicin will leave your skin feeling like it's burning and it can transfer to more sensitive areas—like your eyes, nose, etc.
