CHILI SHRIMP TACOS WITH MANGO SALSA

My mom and I made dinner together tonight.

I concocted the salsa:

mango

onion

cilantro

tomato

and a peach!

There is just something about a fruit salsa that really satisfies the palette. This combination salsa is delicious with tacos. I have made a similar one with slightly breaded tilapia!

This was made really quickly and the shrimp cooked very well.

My mom peeled the shrimp (yuck).

So I did the easy part and made the salsa.

The trick to a great salsa is a little bit of brown sugar to add the sweetness with coarse salt and pepper.

I don’t really like how shrimp look.

Gray. And dead.

They look wayyyyyyyyyy better pink.

There was avocado as well. Chili shrimp. Fruit savory salsa. AND shrimp sauce.

I don’t think you can go wrong with those combinations.

I’m sure you’re thinking what weird things to put together, but trust me and try it.

That’s all I can say.

chili shrimp

two tablespoon butter

chili flakes

salt and pepper

Peel shrimp. Heat skillet, add butter. Pour shrimp into butter.

Sprinkle with chili flakes, salt, and pepper. After cooked and pink pour lemon juice over and continue until fully cooked.

I’m going to try a new recipe because these went hard…
