Corn Tortilla Shells (8 small)
These small corn tortillas are the perfect base, adding that authentic taco texture and flavor. Look for soft, fresh tortillas that you can warm up for a delicious wrap.Frozen Deveined Raw Shrimp (1 bag)
Shrimp brings a light, slightly sweet taste that complements the spicy-sweet flavors in this recipe. Opt for deveined, tail-off shrimp to save prep time.Mango (1, peeled and chopped)
Mango adds a juicy sweetness that balances the heat from the jalapenos. Choose a ripe but firm mango to get the best texture and flavor.Red Onion (1/2 small, finely diced)
Red onion gives a nice crunch and a mild zing that pairs perfectly with the other salsa ingredients. Look for fresh, crisp onions for the best bite.Berry & Brine Jalapeno Pickles (1/2 jar, chopped)
Our pickled jalapenos bring a tangy heat that works beautifully in the salsa, adding depth to each bite. They’re ideal for anyone who loves a bit of spice.Fresh Cilantro (handful, chopped)
Cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous touch to the salsa, rounding out the flavors. Fresh cilantro is key here—skip it if you’re not a fan, though.Berry & Brine Jalapeno Jelly (2 tbsp)
This jelly provides a spicy-sweet glaze for the shrimp, bringing a layer of flavor that complements the citrus and shrimp perfectly.Olive Oil (1 tbsp)
Olive oil helps coat the shrimp in the marinade and adds a smooth richness. A good-quality extra-virgin olive oil works best.Lime Juice (juice from 2 limes, divided)
Lime juice adds essential acidity to both the shrimp and the salsa, enhancing the freshness of the whole dish. Go for fresh limes rather than bottled.Full-Fat Sour Cream (1/2 cup)
