Prepare the spicy mango salsa: Peel and dice the mango. Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside. (10 minutes)
~10 min - 4
Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated seafood onto skewers, alternating types if desired. Discard any excess marinade. (5 minutes)

Tips
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- For an extra kick, add a finely chopped Thai chili to the mango salsa.
