INSTRUCTIONS

Step

Directions

Make the Crema: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 3 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp chipotle powder. Set aside in the fridge to let the flavors meld.

Toss the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Stir gently and set aside.

Season the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and the remaining chipotle powder until evenly coated.

Sauté: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding). Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.

Warm the Tortillas: Quickly char your tortillas over an open gas flame or in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until pliable.

Assemble: Start with a layer of shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Add 3–4 shrimp, a generous spoonful of mango salsa, and a slice of avocado.

Finish: Drizzle the chipotle-lime crema over the top and serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
