With extended orders for all of us to stay at home this is the perfect opportunity to explore in your own home kitchens. Whether you are baking or you prefer cooking I think it's fair to say that some of us may find these times somewhat challenging and are searching for different recipes to try out. So with that said, we'd like to share our delicious Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa recipe with you. This recipe does require a short marinating time, but we are confident it will be well worth the effort and that you will find that these tacos are packed with fresh vibrant authentic flavors. These shrimp tacos are delicious anytime of the week and are sure to fulfill your taco cravings. We encourage you to get creative with our recipes we are sharing if you don't like shrimp, use chicken instead. Also if you have difficulty finding mangoes use fresh pineapple instead. If mango or pineapple salsa aren't your cup of tea make or purchase a traditional Pico de Gallo, we recommend Caza Sanchez's salsas. If you'd like to add more heat to your tacos be sure to include some jalapeños seeds or increase the cayenne pepper measurement. The key is to taste as you cook to develop a personal touch to this dish that is perfectly suited for you and your family!

Twist after slicing the avocado to separate into two halves. Remove the avocado of its pit and remove from the outer peel. Place cut side down on a cutting board and cut each half lengthwise in thin 1/4" slices. In a medium skillet over medium high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and jalapeno.

Remove from heat and allow the shrimp to sit undisturbed for about 1 minute. Place a generous spoonful of the warm shrimp mixture on a tortilla, top with fresh chopped salsa ingredients, add an avocado slice, and a drizzle Crema Mexicana on top if desired. Serve with a lime wedge. (refer to photo on 4/14/20 guacamole post)
