Why This Recipe Works

For flavorful and tender shrimp, we toss them in a mixture of salt, pepper, and chili powder and cook them quickly in a hot skillet.

Before You Begin

If you cannot find Bibb lettuce, substitute 1 head green leaf lettuce.

Instructions

Combine mango, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, 1 tablespoon oil, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl; set aside.

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chili powder. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add shrimp to skillet and cook until spotty brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Spoon shrimp into lettuce leaves and top with mango salsa. Serve.
