Spiced Shrimp and Mango Salsa Tacos with Coconut Cream

A vibrant and flavorful twist on tacos, featuring juicy shrimp tossed in a fragrant spice blend and topped with a refreshing mango salsa. Served in warm tortillas and drizzled with creamy coconut cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  5. Divide the shrimp evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with the mango salsa. Drizzle with coconut milk and serve immediately.
