I loved these - though I’m coming to terms with my dislike of slaw and will likely sub that out next time. The mango was delicious! On a whim I made a sriracha mayo, which was pretty tasty. Edit: I made it again without the mayo, and used napa cabbage for the slaw - liked it just as much or better!
0 HelpfulThe spice mix was super good! I still think the mango salsa could have used some red onion, but the combination of the mango and the shrimp was great nonetheless.
0 HelpfulMade this dish for dinner tonight. Whole family loved it. My kids love mango and shrimp - together it was perfect. I added some onion to the mango salsa as well. My husband needed a little of spice kick, otherwise we loved this recipe.
