Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa

We love Mexican food at our house! Whenever we eat at a Mexican restaurant, my 15 year old orders shrimp tacos with mango salsa. He loves them! So much that for his birthday this year he asked me to make shrimp tacos for dinner. I don’t cook with shrimp very often, so I didn’t have a recipe. I scoured my cookbooks and the internet, and combined about three recipes to come up with these shrimp tacos. They were a hit not just with the birthday boy, but with everyone in the family. The mango salsa is a perfect compliment to the spicy shrimp. So darn yummy! And much more affordable than eating out. 🙂
