This was delicious! We love the meals with shrimp because they cook so quick! Rather than tossing the shrimp with the spice mix we sprinkled the spice mix on the shrimp while sauteing and it turned out fine.
0 HelpfulI 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.
