Method
 

Instructions
  1. Marinate the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the large shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Allow to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the salsa: In another bowl, combine diced mango, ripe avocado, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix carefully.
  3. Grill the shrimp: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  4. Warm the tortillas: In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the tortillas until soft. This should only take a minute.
  5. Assemble the tacos: Divide the grilled shrimp among the tortillas, top with mango-avocado salsa, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
