A quick, flavorful spicy mango shrimp recipe with a Thai-inspired twist—ready in 20 minutes! Perfect as a mango shrimp stir-fry, shrimp with mango sauce, or even a mango shrimp curry variation.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1 ripe mango, diced (for that sweet mango shrimp flavor)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil for Thai mango shrimp vibes)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 red chilies or 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spicy mango shrimp heat)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ red onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp lime juice (fresh for zesty mango shrimp)
- 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar for balance)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce (key for authentic Thai mango shrimp)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Sauté the aromatics – Heat oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, ginger, and chilies, cooking until fragrant (1 min).
- Cook the shrimp – Add shrimp, season with salt & pepper, and stir-fry until pink (2-3 min). Remove and set aside.
- Stir-fry veggies – In the same pan, add bell pepper and onion, cooking until tender-crisp (3 min).
- Make the mango sauce – Add diced mango, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Simmer until the mango softens slightly (2-3 min).
- Combine everything – Return the shrimp to the pan, tossing in the mango sauce to coat evenly.
- Garnish & serve – Sprinkle with cilantro. Enjoy as a mango shrimp stir-fry, over rice, or as a shrimp with mango sauce bowl!
Variations:

- Extra Healthy – Serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
