With the help of my newly found bodega, Mexican Fruits, I made a fresh mango salsa to accompany the shrimp. While, I admit I got the shrimp at Safeway on "Five dollar Friday", There is a large selection of fresh seafood to be had at the Maine Ave Seafood Market in Southwest
Ingredients:
1lb Shrimp shelled and deveined
Salsa Valentina (to taste, 1 to 3 tablespoons depending on how spicy you like it)
vegetable oil (enough to coat the shrimp)
1 handful fresh oregano leaves cut
1 yellow to orange bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1 serrano pepper
1 tangerine
1 handful fresh cilantro
2-3 green onions chopped
2 roma tomatoes
1 yellow mango (also know as Mexican, honey, Philippine, or Champagne mangos)
1 large fresh garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Let shrimp marinate in Salsa Valentina, oil and oregano while you prepare the Mango Salsa
2. Slice 1/2 of bell pepper and 1/2 red onion to be grilled with the shrimp
2. Liquify serrano, the juice from the tangerine, cilantro leaves, and green onions in a blender
3. Dice tomatoes, mango, the other bell pepper 1/2, garlic
4. Combine diced ingredients, blended mixture and salt in a bowl and let chill in the refrigerator while you grill the shrimp.
5. Grill shrimp, red onion and 1/2 of yellow pepper on the grill.
6. Serve grilled veggies and shrimp with Mango Salsa, Queso Fresco and tortilla chips or tostadas.
Enjoy!
