These easy & light shrimp tacos are perfect for weeknight dinners but I think what makes these tacos awesome is the mango salsa. The fresh flavors of the mango & cucumber combined makes this the perfect summer salsa. Delish!

How To Make The Easy Shrimp Tacos

First we'll start with the Mango Salsa

• Add all ingredients and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the tacos

• Pre-heat grill and oil the grill rack.
• Thread shrimp on metal or soaked wooden skewers, running skewer through the body once near the tail and once near the head end of each shrimp so it looks like the letter C.
• In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of oil and blackening seasoning.
• Brush the shrimp with some of the spice mixture.
• Place the shrimp skewers and close lid on gas grill.
• Cook, turning once, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part, 5 to 6 minutes total.
• Lightly brush the tortillas with the remaining oil mixture and place over the hottest part of the grill. Grill until they start to puff up, about 1 minute.
• Turn using tongs and cook for another minute.
• To service just arrange the shrimp on the tortillas and add the salsa.
