Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.

  3. While the shrimp is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño. Toss gently to combine and season with salt to taste.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they’re soft and pliable.
  5. To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp on each tortilla, top with mango salsa, and garnish with avocado slices.
