Print Recipe

Grilled Shrimp with Mango Salsa is a vibrant, tropical dish that combines tender grilled shrimp with a sweet and tangy mango salsa. The fresh flavors of juicy mango, cilantro, lime, and a hint of chili perfectly complement the smoky, charred shrimp. This dish is light, refreshing, and perfect for summer grilling, served as an appetizer or main course alongside rice or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lime, juiced

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped (optional for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave (optional for sweetness)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the shrimp:
    • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the shrimp marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make the mango salsa:
    • In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and honey/agave (if desired). Stir gently to combine and taste. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed. Set aside.
  • Grill the shrimp:
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are opaque and lightly charred.
  • Serve:
    • Remove the shrimp from the grill and arrange them on a platter. Top with the fresh mango salsa and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, you can also grill the mango slices or vegetables before making the salsa.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the shrimp on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven at 400°F for 6-8 minutes.
  • You can make the salsa up to 2 hours ahead of time, but it’s best served fresh.
