  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
  6. Serve the grilled shrimp with a generous spoonful of fresh mango salsa on top.

For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños to the mango salsa.
