Notes
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become tough and rubbery. Instead of tacos, you could also serve the shrimp and mango salsa on tostadas. Feel free to use whichever type of mangos you can find, just remember to select ripe mangos for the best flavor. Make the salsa spicier by using serranos or make it mild by removing the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeños.
