Ingredients

For the Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste

For the Tacos:

8 small corn tortillas
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Fire Up the Grill

Start by firing up your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. You’ll want the center grill grate to reach a high temperature for quick searing.

2. Season the Shrimp

In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.

3. Grill the Shrimp

Place the shrimp on the center grill grate and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. The shrimp should have a nice char but remain juicy. Optional: grill the red cabbage for a delicious grilled addition of flavor. You can also grill the onions. Just put the cabbage and onions on the flat cooktop. Grill the onions until they have a nice char and appear translucent.

4. Prepare the Mango Salsa

While the shrimp are grilling, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

5. Warm the Tortillas

Lightly warm the corn tortillas on the flat cooktop of your Arteflame grill, flipping them occasionally until they are soft and pliable.

6. Assemble the Tacos

Fill each tortilla with a few grilled shrimp, a spoonful of mango salsa, shredded red cabbage, and avocado slices. Drizzle with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro.

7. Serve

Serve the tacos immediately, and enjoy the vibrant, fresh flavors.

Tips

Adjust the heat: For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of hot sauce.
Try different tortillas: If you prefer, you can use flour tortillas instead of corn.
Make it ahead: The mango salsa can be made a few hours in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to use.

Conclusion

These grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa are an easy and delicious dinner idea that brings a burst of tropical flavor to your table. Perfectly grilled shrimp paired with the sweet and spicy salsa make for a mouthwatering meal that's quick to prepare and sure to please.
