Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb peeled shrimp with 2 tbsp jerk seasoning and 2 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Step 2: While shrimp marinates, prepare mango salsa by combining 1 large diced mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread shrimp onto skewers or grill directly for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred.
4. Step 4: Warm 8 small flour tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
5. Step 5: Assemble tacos by dividing grilled shrimp evenly among tortillas and topping each with 2-3 tbsp mango salsa. Serve immediately.
