Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
For the Mango Salsa:
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt to taste

Instructions
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir gently to combine.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.

Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with cooked shrimp, mango salsa, and your desired toppings.
Notes
You can use frozen mango chunks for the salsa; thaw them before dicing.
For a spicier salsa, leave some seeds in the jalapeño.
Serve with your favorite taco bar fixings like shredded lettuce, avocado, or a drizzle of crema.
