Ingredients
- For the shrimp:

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- For the peachy mango glaze and sauce:
- 1/3 cup Peachy Mango Madness (product link)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- For the mango slaw:
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave
- Salt and pepper to taste
- To assemble:
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Make the glaze and sauce: In a small bowl whisk together Peachy Mango Madness, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and grated ginger until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture as a finishing sauce for the tacos.
- Marinate the shrimp: In a medium bowl toss the shrimp with olive oil, kosher salt, cumin, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Add 2 tablespoons of the Peachy Mango mixture and toss to coat. Let marinate 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the slaw.
- Prepare the mango slaw: In a large bowl combine shredded cabbage, julienned mango, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. In a small bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the dressing with the slaw just before serving so the cabbage stays crisp.
- Grill the shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Thread shrimp onto skewers or place directly on the grill. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred. During the last minute brush shrimp with remaining Peachy Mango glaze so it forms a glossy coat. Remove from heat.
- Warm the tortillas: Wrap tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and warm on the grill for 20 to 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly charred in spots.
- Assemble tacos: Place 2 to 3 shrimp on each warmed tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of mango slaw, a slice of avocado, and a drizzle of the reserved Peachy Mango finishing sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and an extra squeeze of lime.
- Serve immediately. These tacos are bright, balanced, and visually appealing with glossy peachy mango glaze on the shrimp and colorful slaw for contrast.
Notes
- Creative use of the product: Peachy Mango Madness is used both as a marinade glaze and as a finishing sauce so the sweet tropical fruit flavor penetrates the shrimp and also appears as glossy highlights on the finished tacos.
- Make ahead: Prep the slaw and glaze up to a day ahead. Keep shrimp chilled and marinate just before grilling for best texture.
- Balance: Acid from lime and rice vinegar cuts the jam sweetness while yogurt adds creaminess. Cumin and smoked paprika provide savory warmth to complement the fruit notes.
- Storage: Leftover slaw keeps in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Cooked shrimp are best eaten same day.
