Grilled Pineapple Salsa
Mmm, this salsa is the secret sauce that makes these tacos NEXT LEVEL good! I love our classic pineapple salsa, but grilling the pineapple combines smoky and sweet and it pairs just right with Shrimp Tacos.
Heat the grill to medium-high and brush a small pineapple, cored and cut into spears, with olive oil. Grill until the pineapple is charred on both sides, then set it aside and let it cool. Chop it into bite-sized pieces. Leave the grill on and hot for the shrimp! In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, red pepper, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and lime juice. Sprinkle with salt and stir everything well! Make sure you give it a taste test with a tortilla chip. That’s the perk of being the chef!
How to Make Shrimp Tacos
There’s a reason people grill all summer long. It’s easy, it’s outside, and it makes everything taste better! Grilled shrimp is a favorite of both adults AND kids in our house.
If your shrimp is frozen, make sure it thaws completely before getting started. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place it in a large bowl. To the bowl add olive oil, lime zest and juice, garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir it well and let it rest for a few minutes. I suggest making the salsa while the shrimp is resting! Grilling shrimp is easiest when you thread them on skewers all in a line. Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill and give them 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp will turn nice and pink! Once they’re done you can use a fork to push them off the skewers and onto a serving plate or bowl. To make delicious tacos, we start with a warm tortilla and shrimp! Top each one with cabbage, grilled pineapple salsa, avocado, and cilantro. A squeeze of fresh lime juice makes them PERFECT! Serve them right away.
