Instructions
Prepare the salsa:
Peel the mango and cut around the core. Dice the mango into half-inch dice and add to a medium-sized bowl. Dice the avocado into half-inch cubes and add to the bowl. Finely minced 1-2 cloves of garlic and 1 jalapeno, seeds removed. Add to the bowl along with salt, pepper, and the juice of 1 lime. Mix until combined and taste for seasoning. *if you don’t want it too spicy then only add half the jalapeno.
Prepare the crema:
Combine all the crema ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
Prepare the shrimp:
In a large bowl, add the shrimp that have been peeled, deveined, and patted dry with the spices. Mix together until evenly incorporated. In a large saute pan, add a tbsp of olive oil over high heat. Add the shrimp in 1 even layer and cook for about 90 seconds on each side until just pink (you may have to do 2 batches). Remove from heat.
