  • When selecting mangoes, look for ones that are slightly soft to the touch and have a pleasant aroma.
  • Make sure to buy shrimp that have been deveined and peeled, as this will make the preparation easier.

  • Substitute mango with pineapple - The benefit of this substitution is that pineapple is a sweeter fruit, which will add a more intense flavor to the salsa. The thinking behind this substitution is that pineapple has a more intense flavor than mango and will bring out the other flavors in the salsa.
  • Substitute panko breadcrumbs with almond meal - The benefit of this substitution is that almond meal is gluten-free, which allows those with gluten sensitivities to enjoy the dish. The thinking behind this substitution is that almond meal will provide a crunchy texture without the gluten, which makes it a healthier alternative to panko breadcrumbs.
