Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 12 oz peeled and deveined shrimp, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Thread the shrimp onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  3. Step 3: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Place the shrimp skewers on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  4. Step 4: While the shrimp cooks, combine 1 ripe mango (diced), 1/4 red onion (finely diced), 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped), 1 tbsp lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Toss to combine and let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Step 5: Serve the shrimp skewers immediately with the mango salsa on the side.
