Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry. Toss with half the lime juice, salt, pepper, and chili powder.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add shrimp and sear 90 seconds per side without stirring—they'll turn pink and crispy at the edges.

  3. Step 3

    Fry tortillas one at a time in the same skillet until golden and crispy, ~90 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Slice avocado and cucumber. Dice mango into chunks. Arrange on each crispy tortilla base with the warm shrimp on top.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze remaining lime over the stack. Finish with a pinch of chili powder and serve immediately.
