Food: Shrimp Tacos with Minted Lime Yogurt and Mango Salsa

Shrimp tacos with Minted Lime Yogurt and Mango Salsa...sounds fancy, but is actually quite easy. I made these for Cinco de Mayo and since Cinco de Mayo fell on a Thursday this year, it had to follow my 30 minute or under weeknight meal plan. It's healthy, quick and super delicious!

(Serves 2)

Minted Lime Yogurt
1 cup plain yogurt
Zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. chopped fresh mint leaves
Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Mango Salsa
1 ripe mango, diced
4 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tsp. finely minced ginger
1 tsp. finely minced green jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed if frozen

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, rinsed, and patted dry, tails pulled off
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice (1/2 a lime)
1/2 tsp. ancho chile powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Place shrimp in a bowl and add olive oil, lime juice, chile powder, salt and pepper. Toss, and let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
