Blackened Shrimp Tacos with Black Bean Mango Salsa and Jalapeño Aioli - spicy, tangy, sweet, and completely delicious! Bring an appetite and lots of napkins!

INGREDIENTS
Jalapeno Aioli

• ½ cup mayo
• 1 jalapeno, seeds and membrane removed
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 lime zested and juiced
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• fresh black pepper, a few cracks

Black Bean Mango Salsa

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
• ½ small red onion, diced
• 1 lime juiced, about 2 tbs
• 1 orange juiced, about ¼ cup
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, diced
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• fresh black pepper, a few cracks

Blackened Shrimp

• 2 tablespoon paprika
• 2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pound medium shrimp, cleaned, tails removed

Other Ingredients

• 12 tortillas
• 5 plum tomatoes, diced
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• ½ cup fresh cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In the bowl of a food processor, add the ingredients for the Jalapeno Aioli and puree. Add to a squeeze bottle or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. To make the Black Bean Salsa, add the ingredients to a bowl, stir well to combine, and adjust season if needed.
3. Warm the tortillas in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the pan to medium-high heat and warm each tortilla 1 to 2 minutes per side – you want to heat the tortillas just enough to slightly char and add a bit of crispness, but not so much that when you fold it, it cracks. Wrap the tortillas in a clean tea towel to keep warm and set aside.
4. Combine the ingredients for the blackening seasoning in a large zip-top bag. Add the shrimp, seal, and shake well to coat. Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp (shaking off any excess rub) and sear – about 2 minutes per side.
5. To assemble: place some of the chopped romaine lettuce in the center of the tortilla. Place a few heaping spoonfuls of the black bean mango salsa on top, add some diced tomatoes, top with shrimp, drizzle with jalapeño aioli, and top with some cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
