WHAT YOU’LL NEED

1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

1 1/2 teaspoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

For the Mango, Red Onion & Cilantro Salsa

2 ripe mangos, diced

Juice of 2 limes

MAKIN’ IT

Note: This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches, and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.

1. Combine whole tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, salt, Cajun Crazy Spice, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor.

2. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you’d like – I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.

3. Refrigerate salsa for at least one hour. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips!
