Ingredients
2 pounds medium shrimp, cooked and cleaned
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
5 scallions, trimmed and sliced thinly
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped

1/3 cup minced cilantro leaves
Salt, to taste
Directions
Place the cooked shrimp in a large mixing bowl with the diced cucumber, sliced scallions, chopped mango, minced jalapeño, and cilantro.
Toss all ingredients together gently until well combined, being careful not to break apart the shrimp or mango pieces.
Season the mixture to taste with salt, then toss again briefly to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Serve immediately while the salsa is fresh and the shrimp is still cool.
Comments
Shrimp with mango salsa is practical for a weeknight: every ingredient appears at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger in Charlotte, with no special stops required. The actual prep time is closer to 20–22 minutes once you account for deveining the shrimp and dicing the mango, cucumber, and jalapeño, though the cooking itself is genuinely fast. At roughly $3.50–$4.00 per serving (shrimp drives the cost, typically $8–$10 per pound), this lands squarely in the affordable-protein range and reheats adequately if you keep the salsa separate. The dish leans coastal—shrimp is a real strength in North Carolina—and makes a light, low-fuss meal that works well for families or meal prep, though it is best eaten same-day for texture.
