Directions:
Combine all the ingredients for the mango salsa in a medium bowl and toss to combine (don’t forget to add salt and pepper to taste). Set aside (or refrigerate: this can be made several days in advance).
For the shrimp, heat the oil in a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the shrimp. Sprinkle the seasonings over the shrimp and sauté, stirring often, until the shrimp are pink and tender, 2-3 minutes over medium or medium-high heat. Don’t overcook the shrimp or they’ll be tough. It only takes a few minutes.
Serve the shrimp on lettuce leaves topped with the mango salsa.
