Shrimp with Mango Salsa and rice – easy, fresh, Mediterranean-style dinner that you can make at home!

Shrimp with mango salsa and rice

I’ve been working diligently this week on using up several pounds of mango I’ve had for about 2 weeks. They were not quite ripe enough, but now, after more than 2 weeks in the refrigerator, they are ready to serve their purpose! I’ve already made fish tacos, grilled salmon, seared black cod – all topped with tropical fruit salsa: I can be quite repetitive with my dinner choices. Oh well: once again I am combining seafood and tropical fruit to make this very colorful and fresh Summer dish: shrimp with mango salsa and rice!

Shrimp with mango salsa and rice

Tropical fruit salsa goes exceptionally well with all kinds of seafood, something I’ve learned in Hawaii. Making this kind of salsa is as easy as throwing together some fresh vegetables, chopped mango, pineapple or any other tropical fruit, lime juice, and some spices! You can sear the shrimp on stove top like I did below, or you could grill it using the same spices I am using in this recipe. Or, if you don’t have fresh shrimp, you can even use frozen cooked shrimp (defrosted).

Because it’s so easy, I often make this shrimp with mango salsa after a long work day – it’s very comforting and quick!

    I never have too many mangoes to use because they’re so expensive here ๐Ÿ™ haha…..unless they’re overly ripe in which case I make them into puree to use in desserts! Your tropical salsa sounds so refreshing and tasty and I can imagine how well it would go with the prawns!

    This looks so good! I love spicy shrimp, and mango salsa is one of my fave things! Are you finished using up you stash of mangoes? Mango/ white chocolate muffins are awefully delicious if you are into baking. . . . ๐Ÿ™‚
