Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Sriracha Ranch: In a small bowl, whisk together the Ranch dressing and Sriracha sauce until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lime juice. Toss gently to coat evenly and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Sauté the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and sauté for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp is cooking, warm the tortillas according to package directions or by lightly charring them over an open flame for a few seconds per side. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Assemble the Tacos: For each taco, place about 4-5 sautéed shrimp in a warm tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon of diced mango, 1 tablespoon of diced red onion, and a generous drizzle of the Sriracha Ranch dressing. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Serve: Serve the Spicy Shrimp Tacos immediately with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the shrimp instead of sautéing. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the ranch dressing to your desired level of spiciness.
Feel free to add other toppings, such as shredded cabbage, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream.

    I found the Sriracha Ranch a bit too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of Sriracha. They were still delicious!
