Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa

My amazing, fabulous, super cool little sister is in town for a while! Yay! We both love getting in the kitchen and cooking together...just finished a late-night cookie making frenzy, in fact. For dinner tonight, we made this delightful (and quite healthy) summery-fresh meal! I'm sure that the dish isn't that original, but this is definitely our own version.

You need:

Mango Salsa-
2 roma tomatoes, rough chopped and seeds removed
2 mangoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, rough chopped
Juice from one lime
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos, more or less to taste, rough chopped
Salt and pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper

Shrimp-
2 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper

Taco toppings-
Tortillas
Shredded lettuce
Queso Fresco, crumbled

Make it:

Salsa-
1. Mix tomatoes, mangoes, cilantro, onion, jalapeno.
2. Toss with lime juice.
3. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
4. Cover and chill in fridge for at least one hour.

Shrimp-
1. Saute shrimp in melted butter.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook until nice and pink.

Assemble tacos with desired amounts of salsa, shrimp, lettuce and queso fresco.
