About This Grilled Shrimp with Mango Salsa

Shrimp is a low-fat, low-calorie and diabetic-friendly choice for dinner, lunch or even as an appetizer or snack. But when you flavor that shrimp with vibrant spices like cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic and pepper, you won’t be thinking about anything other than the high level of flavor it contains. Pair these heart-healthy shrimp with some sweet and spicy mango-jalapeno sauce and you’ve got a boldly flavored dish that warms your soul. This grilled shrimp recipe is one you’ll want to turn to again and again throughout the summer months because it highlights so many of the tastes of the season. If you’re following a gluten-free diet, just make sure the beer in the recipe is gluten-free or use white wine instead. The rest of the ingredients in the recipe naturally don’t contain any gluten.

How to Make Grilled Shrimp with Mango Salsa

  1. Step 1

    Make shrimp marinade: In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, paprika, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and beer and puree until it becomes a smooth paste. In a large bowl, combine shrimp and marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Make mango jalapeno sauce: In a blender, puree mango and water and set aside. In a saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add red onion and jalapeno and saute until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mango puree; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in yogurt.

  3. Step 3

    Lightly coat a grill rack or nonstick grill pan with cooking spray. Set heat to medium-high. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes on each side. Remove shrimp and sprinkle with cilantro and a splash of fresh-squeezed lime juice. Serve shrimp with sauce.
