# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The mango salsa cools down the sriracha in a way that feels like magic, not math.
  • Everything cooks in under 15 minutes once your prep is done, perfect for nights when hunger wins.
  • The colors alone make you feel like youre eating something special, even on a Tuesday.
02 -
  • Don't walk away from the shrimp while they cook; they go from perfect to rubbery in seconds.
  • Let the mango salsa sit for 10 minutes before serving so the flavors can marry, it makes all the difference.
03 -
  • Make extra mango salsa, it's incredible spooned over grilled chicken or eaten straight with chips.
  • If your skillet isn't hot enough, the shrimp will release water and steam instead of getting that nice sear.
