Reviews
Made these they were delicious. Fresh tasting. Will definitely make again.
Great recipie! I added a couple drops of habanero sauce for some extra heat and it was amazing!!!
Phenomenal. I had fresh Gulf shrimp…and fresh mango…..had to do something special and this was perfect for it!
Good recipe but use large shrimp and cut them up. Larger shrimp have more flavor.
Made as written except that I left out the sugar and this turned out good. It was fast, easy, and would be perfect on a hot summer day. The only change I’ll make next time is to use raw shrimp and cook them on the grill. The salsa goes really good with the shrimp. This is a keeper!
