Instructions
- Make the salsa first. Combine the mango, shallot, pepper, cilantro, lime juice and a big pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss well. You can make this a few hours ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
- Pat the shrimp completely dry with a paper towel. Season all over with the tajin - use more or less if desired.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook until opaque, about 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat so the shrimp doesn’t overcook.
- Assemble the tacos! Add the shrimp in the center of the tortillas, top with the mango salsa and cotija cheese. Serve!
