# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The honey-lime sriracha glaze clings to the shrimp without overwhelming the sweetness of the mango.
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like you put in hours of effort.
  • Every bite delivers crunch, heat, tang, and a little tropical brightness that feels like a mini escape.
02 -
  • Don't overcook the shrimp or they turn from tender to tough in seconds, pull them off the heat as soon as they curl and turn opaque.
  • Let the mango salsa sit for at least 5 minutes before serving so the lime juice can soften the onion and the flavors can meld together.
03 -
  • Make the mango salsa up to two hours ahead and keep it chilled so the flavors deepen and the prep feels effortless when dinnertime hits.
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it holds heat better and gives the shrimp those caramelized edges that make all the difference.
