Procedure:
Combine the peppers, mango, ginger, cilantro, parsley, lime juice, tequila and salt. Chill for at least one hour before serving.

Put the shells in a small saucepot and add just enough water to cover. Simmer for 1 hour and strain, saving the liquid and discarding the shells and heads.

In a large sauté pan over high heat, sauté the shrimp until they are pink. Remove the pan from the heat and add the tequila. Then return the pan to the flame and allow the tequila to flame and burn off.

Add the cilantro and toss. Add the water and boil. Whisk in the butter.

Serve the shrimp over some rice, along with some of the sauce and mango salsa.
