📖 Instructions

1. First, let's get that shrimp marinating! In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if you dare!). Add the shrimp and toss it all together until every single one is coated in that amazing spice mixture. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or even up to 2 hours. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it gets, trust me!
2. While the shrimp is getting its flavor on, let's whip up that mango salsa. Dice the mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (remember to be careful!), and cilantro. Toss it all together in another bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice, add a pinch of salt, and give it a gentle mix. Taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Some like it sweeter, some like it spicier—it's all up to you! Set it aside, so the flavors meld together while you work on the shrimp.
3. Time to grill that shrimp! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers. Grill them for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they're pink and opaque. Don't overcook them, or they'll get rubbery! If you don't have a grill, you can pan-sear them in a skillet with a little olive oil.
4. Warm those pita breads! You can do this on the grill for a few seconds per side, in a dry skillet, or even in the microwave. Just make sure they're pliable and easy to fold.
5. Now for the fun part: assembling your gyros! Spread a spoonful of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce (if you're feeling fancy!) on each pita bread. Top with the grilled shrimp, a generous dollop of mango salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Fold the pita bread in half, or roll it up like a burrito. Serve immediately and prepare for a flavor explosion!
