# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The sweet mango cools the heat in a way that feels bright and alive, not heavy.
  • Everything comes together in half an hour, so theres no excuse not to make it on a weeknight.
  • The combination of textures, crunchy cabbage, juicy shrimp, soft tortilla, keeps every bite interesting.
  • It looks vibrant and restaurant worthy without any fussy plating or special skills.
02 -
  • Dont overcrowd the skillet when cooking shrimp or theyll steam instead of sear, giving you rubbery texture instead of caramelized edges.
  • If your mango is underripe, let it sit on the counter for a day or two, a hard mango will ruin the salsa.
  • Taste the sriracha glaze before tossing it with the shrimp, you might want more honey if your sriracha runs hot.
03 -
  • Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels before seasoning, moisture prevents a good sear and makes them steam instead.
  • Char the tortillas slightly over an open flame or in a hot skillet for a smoky flavor that elevates the whole taco.
  • Make the mango salsa an hour ahead if you can, the flavors meld together and taste even better after a short rest.
