Instructions

Place all the ingredients for the salsa in a small bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Blend 1 cup of mango peach salsa in a blender until no chunks remain. Add shrimp and blended salsa to a glass container or Ziploc bag. Allow to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt or mayo, sugar, vinegar, and salt and pepper. Add coleslaw mix and thinly sliced peppers and stir to coat the coleslaw.

Remove shrimp from marinade and sauté in 1 Tablespoon oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Assemble tacos with a few shrimp, coleslaw mix, and additional salsa, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Shrimp Thoroughly 🍤
Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before cooking to achieve a golden, caramelized sear instead of steaming them in their own moisture.
Prep Mango Salsa in Advance ⏰
Make your salsa 15-20 minutes before serving and let it sit at room temperature so flavors meld and the mango releases its juices for better texture and taste.
Char Your Tortillas for Depth 🔥
Lightly char corn tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side to add smoky complexity that complements the sweet salsa.
Season Shrimp Right Before Cooking 🧂
Salt and pepper your shrimp just 2-3 minutes before searing to prevent them from expelling moisture, keeping them tender and juicy rather than tough.
Balance Your Salsa Acid and Sweetness 🥭
Taste your mango salsa and adjust with lime juice to brighten or a pinch of sugar to round out flavors—the balance between the sweet fruit and tartness is key to the dish's success.
