The spicy fish tacos with mango guacamole are the perfect mix of spicy and sweet with a little tang from the lime!

For the guacamole/salsa
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 of one mango
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 2 tbs minced cilantro (optional if you don’t like it)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Juice of one juicy lime or 2 less juicy limes
  • 1/4 of a red onion
  • 1 finely minced jalapeño
For the tacos
  • 1 tbs chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp paprika (more if you want spicier)
  • 1 tbs garlic powder
  • 1/3lb deveined peeled shrimp per person
  • Neutral oil for cooking (grape-seed or canola, neutral oils have a higher smoke point and aren’t super flavorful)
  • 3 corn tortillas
  • Cotija or cream to serve with
Instructions
  1. Chop the onion and cilantro. Cube the mango and avocado like in the video and add them to a small bowl with the onion, cilantro, garlic, sea salt, lime juice, and jalapeño. Mix it up and let the flavors marinate while you make the shrimp.
  2. Mix together the chipotle powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Roughly chop your shrimp and coat thoroughly in the seasoning.
  3. Add the neutral oil to a cast iron or non stick pan and cook your shrimp for 6-7 min. They should change from clear to light pink when they’re done. You can cut one in half to check if you’re worried.
  4. Remove the shrimp leaving the seasoned oil in the pan and add your tortillas flipping them so each tortilla side is exposed to heat and seasoning.
  5. Assemble your tacos with the tortilla, shrimp, guacamole, and cream and enjoy!
