Mangolicious Grilled Shrimp Tacos

Banging Shrimp!

Yesterday I made some great Jamaican Jerk Fried Chicken and Mango Chutney. Well I had a lot of left over chutney and I decided to find a way to eat it!

I took my Mango Chutney added a chiptole pepper a little extra seasonings and marinated some jumbo shrimp for about 30 minutes.

In my cast iron pan, I heated a little olive oil and sauteed the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes per side.

I took more mango chutney and created a sauce, which included mango chutney, mango juice, more chiptole peppers, Asian sambal, sour cream and a little Greek yogurt. All you have to do is blend this together and it's done.

I lightly fried my taco shells in a little olive oil, you could also just heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Place some slaw on the bottom of the shell and top it with shrimp.  Enjoy!
