Instructions

Marinate the shrimp: Toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lime juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate while you prepare the mango salsa.
Make the mango salsa: In a separate bowl, combine mango, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to chill.
Grill the shrimp: Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are slightly charred.
Serve: Plate the grilled shrimp with a generous spoonful of mango salsa on top or on the side. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve the grilled shrimp and salsa over coconut rice, quinoa, or a bed of greens for a more substantial meal.
Add Avocado: For an extra layer of creaminess, add diced avocado to the salsa.
No Grill? If you don’t have access to a grill, you can easily pan-sear the shrimp in a hot skillet with a little oil until they’re cooked through and slightly crispy.
Storage: Store leftover shrimp and mango salsa separately. The shrimp lasts for up to 2 days, and the salsa for 1-2 days in the fridge.
