How to Make Easy Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa:

Prepare the Mango Salsa:

Cook the Shrimp:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Sprinkle the shrimp with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp and toss to coat.

Warm the Tortillas:
While the shrimp is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are soft and pliable.

Assemble the Tacos:
Place a few shrimp on each tortilla and top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Add extra toppings, like avocado slices and sour cream, if desired.

Serve:
Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges for a fresh kick.
