Preparation

Step 1

For shrimp:
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to 375°F. Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Set aside at room temperature for about 20 minutes while the grill is heating.

Thread 4 shrimp onto each bamboo skewer, piercing through both ends of each shrimp. Clean the grill grids with a wire grill brush. Oil the hot grids with a wad of paper towels soaked in canola oil.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, or just until evenly pink. Push the shrimp off the skewers onto a plate. Serve at once with the mango salsa and warm tortillas.
