Ingredients

  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 16 raw large shrimp
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 mango diced
  • ¼ cup red onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 small flour tortillas

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat butter and garlic over medium heat until garlic is slightly brown and aromatic. Add in the shrimp and squeeze the juice of half a lemon on top. Pour in the honey and stir everything together, cooking over medium heat until shrimp turn pink. (Remove them from the heat once they form into a "c" shape—you don't want overcooked, rubbery shrimp!) Sprinkle some pepper on top and set aside, allowing the shrimp to marinate in the honey garlic sauce.
  • Combine the red pepper, mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl and mix together.
  • Heat your tortillas, then dish about ¼ of the fresh mango salsa into each tortilla and top with the shrimp and about 2 tablespoons of honey garlic sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
