Crispy Shrimp Tacos
(adapted from How Sweet It Is
 
1/2 pound raw, deveined shrimp (tails removed)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp minced garlic

4 corn or flour tortillas

Optional additions:

Make sure shrimp is clean and completely dry. Combine salt, pepper, garlic and cumin and sprinkle it over the shrimp. Add the flour to a small bowl, and dredge the shrimp through the flour to get a very light coating on it. Heat a skillet on medium high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and let drain on a paper towel.

Ingredients:
(for 6)
3 mangos, diced
1 medium red onion, diced small

mango salsa is always my favorite salsa - the fresh, fruity flavors mix so well with the acidic lime juice and fragant cilantro! i want some now......
