1-First step: Prepare the coulis base Start by placing the diced mangoes, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, and cilantro into a blender. Blend until smooth to form the spicy mango lime coulis. If you want a silkier texture, use a food processor instead of a blender. A food processor can be useful when making a larger batch for meal prep or guests.

2-Second step: Adjust the sauce texture and heat Taste the coulis after blending. If you want more spice, leave some jalapeno seeds in the sauce. If you want a milder version, remove all the seeds before blending. You can also add a small splash of water if the sauce feels too thick. For a smoother finish, strain the coulis through a fine mesh sieve.

3-Third step: Prepare the shrimp Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl. Toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until lightly coated. Pat the shrimp dry before seasoning so they grill instead of steam. This step matters because dry shrimp pick up better char and cook more evenly. Fresh wild-caught shrimp are a strong choice when available because they bring cleaner flavor.

4-Fourth step: Preheat the grill Heat the grill to medium heat. If you are using a grill pan indoors, preheat it over medium heat as well. The target is steady heat rather than high flame, since shrimp cook fast and can turn rubbery if the temperature is too strong. Lightly oil the grates or grill pan before cooking.

5-Fifth step: Grill the shrimp Place the shrimp on the hot grill in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Turn them once during cooking so they develop light grill marks on both sides. Do not overcook them, because shrimp become tough very quickly. If you are cooking for a family with mixed tastes, this step is easy to scale up or down without changing the method.

6-Sixth step: Assemble and serve Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter and spoon the spicy mango lime coulis over the top. You can also serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Finish with extra cilantro if desired. This dish pairs well with rice, a simple green salad, roasted vegetables, or warm tortillas. It works especially well for travelers, newlyweds, and busy parents because it feels special while staying simple.
