These mango habanero shrimp tacos are a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of summer. The shrimp are cooked in the air fryer until they are tender and juicy, and then tossed in a flavorful mango habanero salsa. The tacos are served on soft tortillas with your favorite toppings.
The inspiration for these tacos came to me one day when I was browsing the farmers market. I saw some beautiful ripe mangoes and some fresh habanero peppers, and I knew that I had to make something delicious with them. I started by marinating the shrimp in a simple olive oil, salt, and pepper mixture. Then, I cooked the shrimp in the air fryer until they were cooked through and golden brown. While the shrimp was cooking, I made the mango habanero salsa. I diced the mango, minced the habanero pepper, and chopped the red onion and cilantro. I then combined all of the ingredients in a small bowl and tossed to combine. Once the shrimp was cooked, I assembled the tacos. I placed a few shrimp on each tortilla and then topped with the mango habanero salsa. I served the tacos with a side of sour cream and guacamole. These tacos were a hit with my family and friends, and I know that you will enjoy them too.
