Grilled Shrimp with Mango & Red Onion Relish



I adapted this recipe from an old Cooking Light recipe.  I like a mango relish without tomato, so I left that part out and it came out fantastically.  The below recipe includes Cooking Light's nutritional information, but my recipe modifications.  Because I only omitted vegetables, the information should generally be the same.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH MANGO & RED ONION RELISH

Recipe Notes
If you would like to add tomatoes to the relish, the original recipe includes 2 c. of seeded, chopped tomatoes.  It is very easy to halve or quarter this recipe for a smaller crowd.
