Prep Time: 30 min

Cook Time: 15 min

Servings: 6


Ingredients:

SHRIMP:

  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled & deveined

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1 Tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • Flour or corn tortillas (we made these homemade, but you can use any of your favorite tortillas)


MANGO CORN SALSA

  • 2 mangos, diced

  • 2 ears corn, shucked and rinsed

  • 1/2 large red onion, diced

  • 1 jalapeño, diced

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

  • Juice and zest of 1 lime

  • 1 tsp honey


AVOCADO CREAM

  • 2 avocados

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 cup water


Steps:

  1. Add all ingredients for the shrimp in a bowl, mix well, cover and set aside while you prepare the mango corn salsa.

  2. In an oven-safe pan, place the corn over medium high heat to get some color on all sides. Broil for about 2-3 minutes on each side until you get a good char (not black) around at least 2 sides of the corn. Let cool and slice off of the cob into a bowl for the salsa.

  3. Add all other ingredients for your mango corn salsa into the same bowl, mix with a spoon and set aside.

  4. For the shrimp, heat 1 Tbsp avocado oil in a pan to medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked all the way through.

  5. While the shrimp is cooking, you can throw together your avocado cream. Just blend (or use a food processor) to blend all of the ingredients until smooth.

  6. Put everything together and enjoy!
