Serves 6

Ingredients

2 Tbsp	Olive Oil
1 Tbsp	Fresh Crushed Garlic
20	Raw Shrimp (peeled and cubed)
1 Tsp	Fresh Crushed Ginger
2 Large	Mangos (small cubes)
1 Small	Oso Sweet Onion (finely chopped)
1 Small	Jalapeno (seeded and finely chopped)
1 Large	Tomato (chopped)
2	Hass Avocados (cubed)
1 cup	Canned or Fresh Corn (strained)
1/4 cup	Fresh Cilantro (finely chopped)
2-3	Lemons (Juice only)
To Taste	Salt and Pepper

Preparation

In a medium sized skillet heat oil and garlic until you can smell the garlic. Add shrimp, ginger, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until shrimp are pink. Let cool.

 

In a medium sized bowl, add: mango, onion, jalapeno, tomato, avocado, corn, cilantro, lemon juice and shrimp (along with the goodies that you scrape from the bottom of the shrimp skillet!). Mix all together, salt and pepper to taste.

 

My favorite way to serve it is with tortilla chips (as an appetizer) but it is very versatile. It may also be served over tacos or makes a beautiful garnish for Mexican-style rice, chicken, seafood, etc.
