# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The homemade sriracha sauce clings to every shrimp without being heavy or overwhelming.
  • Mango salsa adds brightness and texture that makes each bite feel alive.
  • You can have everything prepped, cooked, and plated in under 40 minutes.
  • The balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy keeps you coming back for one more taco.
02 -
  • Do not overcook the shrimp or theyll turn tough and chewy, pull them off the heat the moment they turn opaque.
  • Toss the shrimp with the sriracha glaze while theyre still hot so the sauce warms up and clings better.
  • Dice the mango into small, uniform pieces so it distributes evenly and doesnt overpower each bite.
  • Warm your tortillas or theyll crack when you fold them, and cold tortillas just donot taste right.
03 -
  • Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels before seasoning so they sear instead of steaming in the pan.
  • Taste your mango before adding it to the salsa, if itÕs not sweet enough, a tiny pinch of sugar will help.
  • Char your tortillas over an open flame if you have a gas stove, it only takes seconds and adds incredible flavor.
  • If you like more heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in the salsa or add a dash of hot sauce to the sriracha glaze.
