The shrimp are seasoned to perfection and the peach mango salsa uses so much delicious, fresh produce like mango, peach, pineapple, shallots, and jalapenos. Don't forget the lime juice for a tasty kick too!
On to the steps!
Ingredients
- Shrimp, tail-off and deveined
- Cumin
- Paprika
- Red pepper flakes
- Minced garlic
- Lime juice
- Oil
- Pineapple
- Mango
- Peach
- Shallot
- Jalapeno
- Small tortillas
- Greek yogurt for serving
Prepare The Shrimp
Place shrimp in a bowl and toss with cumin, paprika, pepper flakes, garlic, one tablespoon of lime, and salt and pepper to taste. Pan fry over medium-high heat with oil until shrimp are curled, orange, and cooked.
For the shrimp, I always buy peeled, deveined, tail-off shrimp because it will make your life so much easier. Do the tail-on shrimp look fancy? Yes. Do they make eating unreasonably hard? Also yes. I'm not going to work for my tacos like that.
The only other important note here is to coat the shrimp in the seasoning before you put them in the pan, it's going to make them taste that much better! You know they are done when they've curled in on themselves, shrunk in size, and turned that vibrant orange color.
Prepare The Salsa
Mix 1 tablespoon of lime, pineapple, mango, peach, shallot, jalapeno, and salt and pepper to taste. Place Greek yogurt on tortillas, followed by shrimp and salsa.
It's time to put your dicing skills to the test because there's a lot of fresh produce in this salsa! If you happen to be missing anything though, there's no shame in grabbing some canned diced mango or pineapple. If you're in the Midwest like me, the warm-climate fruits in your grocery store might look a little...sad. So sometimes the canned stuff is the right choice! This peach mango salsa is also really customizable, if the jalepenos are too spicy for you, you can swap them out for something like a poblano.
