My grilled citrus agave shrimp with mango salad recipe is for my lovers of all things shrimp and grilled. It’s easy to make and takes no time to cook. The flavors of orange, lime, lemon with agave gives a refreshing flavor to this dish and the agave adds a kiss of sweetness to the heat of the jalapeno.
Grilled Citrus Agave Shrimp with Mango Salad Cooking Tips:
You can skip marinating the shrimp, just follow the recipe and proceed to cooking.
Use whatever mango you can find but champagne/ataulfo mangoes are the best. Mango should be firm but soft enough to leave a slight indention in the skin.
Can you make ahead?
Fridge: Citrus agave glaze: Can be made a day or two in advance. Place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.
Reheating: Grilled shrimp: Pop in a 350-degree oven for 6-8 minutes.

Substitution Options:
If you're not a fan of spicy, remove the white pith of the jalapeno or omit it completely.
This recipe works great on chicken too.
The citrus glaze is a excellent sauce for any protein or vegetable.
