Instructions
-
Prepare the Salsa:
- In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced mangoes, chopped cilantro leaves, lime juice, chopped red bell pepper, chopped red onion, kosher salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and let it sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Marinate the Shrimp:
- In a shallow dish, marinate the peeled and deveined shrimp in tequila for 30 minutes. Drain well, reserving the tequila.
-
Cook the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and shrimp to the skillet. Cook, shaking the pan and turning the shrimp, until they are evenly pink and cooked through, about 1 minute on each side.
- Add the reserved tequila to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
-
Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Option 1: Fold the prepared mango salsa into the cooked shrimp.
- Option 2: Arrange the cooked shrimp in a circle with the mango salsa in the center.
- Serve immediately over cooked basmati rice or with rice on the side.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the shrimp are well-marinated for optimal flavor.
- Adjust the spiciness of the salsa by varying the amount of jalapeno peppers used.
- Serve with fresh lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
