Notes

Use the freshest ingredients for the best flavor, especially the mango and cilantro. Do not overcook the shrimp to keep them juicy and tender; grill for about 1.5 minutes per side. For variations, you can use frozen mango, substitute saffron with turmeric, or make the aioli with plant-based mayonnaise for a vegan option.
