Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. Marinate the Shrimp
    In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
    Ensure all shrimp are well covered with spices.

Cook the Shrimp

  1. Sauté the Shrimp
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are opaque and cooked through.
    Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.

Make the Mango Salsa

  1. Mix the Salsa
    In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño, and salt. Stir well.
    Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for better flavor.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. Build the Tacos
    Place cooked shrimp in the warmed corn tortillas. Top with mango salsa and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
    For lighter tacos, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
