Instructions
Mix all ingredients from the Mango Pico de Gallo in a bowl and leave in the fridge until ready to serve.
Blend all ingredients for the Baja Sauce in a small food processor until smooth. I like to use my single serving blender cup to do this.
When it's time to cook the shrimp, if it is frozen, make sure to thaw it first. You can place shrimp in a colander and run under cold water for a few minutes until thawed. Then drain and pat dry with paper towels. Mix all ingredients for the shrimp together in a bowl.
Pre-heat a non-stick medium skillet over high heat. Add seasoned shrimp to skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until shrimp is pink and has a light sear.
To assemble
You are going to need about 6 tortillas for this amount of shrimp. Follow the recipe bellow for homemade tortillas if that’s something you are into.
Heat tortillas in a hot skillet for about 1 minute in each side. If you form a taco shape with the hot tortilla and let it cool, it will conserve the shape. Cool little trick. Stuff your tacos with shrimp, pour pico de Gallo over and then Baja sauce. ENJOY!
