Mango and Shrimp Salad – Refreshing summer salad that combines the delicious flavors of lime, mango, and grilled shrimp.
Did you see that? I mean, I’ve got shrimp there, shrimp over here… who AM I? The Shrimp Lovah? Uhm, yes I am!
But, I’m just dropping in for the second time today to let you know that I’m all about that shrimp, ’bout that shrimp, ’bout that shrimp… ERRR! Meghan Trainor is on zee brain.
I’m here to let you know that this mango and shrimp salad is super simple to prepare and you will not be able to keep your fork out of it. That’s all.
AND it’s zesty and filling, packed with fresh summer ingredients making it the ideal warm-weather side dish. M’kay?
With grilled shrimp, chunks of mango, sliced grape tomatoes, chopped red onions and a delicious dose of garlic, the recipe comes together in just 25 minutes. The best part is that all the flavors work so well together that there’s just no need for extra salad dressing. The lime juice and cilantro are perfectly enough.
This was, in a word, FABULOUS.

Wouldn’t this be zero WW smart points, everything in the recipe is zero points except for the one teaspoon of olive oil?
Yes, you’re right! I’ve updated the recipes. By the way, this recipe was created with the old point system (like two systems ago :-D), when shrimp had points, as well as mangoes.
Okay great Katerina, it’s amazing how many points are saved for such a delicious meal. I can’t wait to make it. Thanks
Do you think I could put avocados in this?
Very good. The amount of powerful flavors in a bite is intense. Red onion to cilantro to garlic in a bite. Mango to add juiciness and to mellow out the sometimes overpowering red onion. You don’t need a salad dressing.
[…] more thing? This summer I am trying to get creative with my side-dishes. From a Mango Shrimp Salad to a Mushroom Orzo Pilaf and now Balsamic Caramelized Onions. None of this may sound particularly […]
This is so colorful and pretty I might just sit and stare at it and forget to eat!
I just love shrimp, I could eat this every single day!
This salad looks like an absolute showstopper, Kate – such a showstopper!
