Shrimp Tacos with Honey Lime Mayo and Mango Salsa

These are great for an easy and fun summer meal.  Start to finish you can take under 30 minutes to create a spicy and lively dish.  Oh and yes, I'm back to blogging with a challenge from my co-teacher to get back into this form of writing this summer.  Hope you enjoy my latest culinary creations!

Shrimp Tacos

pinch cayenne/red pepper powder
1/4 tea salt
1/4 tea granulated garlic
2 tea smoked paprika
2 tablespoons lime juice
zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped finely

16-20 jumbo shrimp (I got mine at Whole Foods for a good price- and they are HUGE!) shelled, cleaned, deveined, rinsed

• Mix top group of ingredients in a small bowl.
• Add shrimp to large ziploc bag and top with spice mixture.
• Shake and smush until all shrimp are well coated
• Marinate for 15 min-1 hour (more than that the lime juice will start to cook the shrimp)
• Skewer shrimp using railroad method (not a real name, but one I just made up because I don't know how else to describe it.  I could also say, "see picture").
• Grill on high for 4 or so minutes per side, turning when slightly browned and deliciously charred.

• Serve with corn tortillas and toppings such as sliced avocado, grilled red peppers/onions, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro.  I also recommend serving with honey lime mayo and/or mango salsa (see recipes below).
