Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and julienned or diced
  • 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional, use dairy-free yogurt if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp marinade by combining olive oil, turmeric, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, toss gently to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine sliced cabbage, shredded carrot, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Add diced mango on top without mixing.
  4. Prepare the slaw dressing by whisking together lime juice, honey, and Greek yogurt if using. Season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Pour the dressing over the slaw ingredients and toss gently until evenly coated, keeping the mango intact.
  6. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
  7. Grill the shrimp in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque with grill marks. Avoid overcrowding.
  8. Divide the mango slaw evenly among bowls, then top with the grilled turmeric shrimp. Garnish with extra cilantro or a lime wedge if desired.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally adding a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp; remove from heat as soon as they turn pink and opaque to keep them juicy. Marinate shrimp for at least 15 minutes for best flavor. Wear gloves when handling turmeric to avoid staining. For a creamier slaw, add more Greek yogurt or substitute with avocado. Frozen mango chunks can be used if fresh mango is unavailable. Serve shrimp and slaw fresh for best texture; store separately if refrigerating leftovers.
