Instructions

Gently pat the shrimp dry using paper towels on both sides and toss it in the bowl with the olive oil and seasonings. Mix well so the seasoning coats all sides of the shrimp. Set aside.
Place all of the salsa ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix. (Add a jalapeño for extra spice!)
Whisk the ingredients for the taco sauce in a small bowl, set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and sauté each side for ~2 minutes or until shrimp turns pink and curled into almost an “O” shape.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste, and remove from heat.
Assemble the tacos: tortilla of choice, shredded cabbage, shrimp on top, mango salsa and a drizzle of the taco sauce. Finish with a squeeze of lime and any other taco toppings you prefer! (Heat tortillas over the stove prior to building your tacos).

Notes

Feel free to top your tacos with cheese, hot sauce, guacamole, sour cream, chopped cilantro, slaw, scallions, avocado, etc. It's fun to dress em' up!
If you don't like mangos, sub with your favorite salsa.
