Peel and cut the mango into pieces.
Prepare a dressing with orange juice, oil, salt, pepper, and some mint leaves.
Place the shrimp in a bowl with the dressing, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; the longer they rest, the more flavorful they become.
After the resting time, place the shrimp on the skewers alternating with mango pieces, put the skewers in a baking dish with the dressing, and set some aside for seasoning later.
Bake in a hot oven at 350°F for about 5-6 minutes or with an air fryer for 4 minutes at 375°F
Then place the skewers on the serving plate, season with the dressing you set aside and orange slices.
Bon appetit.
