Grilled Pineapple and Shrimp Tacos

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweetness of grilled pineapple with the savory flavors of shrimp in a delicious taco creation. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering with friends or a quick weeknight dinner that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small pineapple, peeled and sliced
  • 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 corn taco shells
  • 100g shredded red cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill
  • tongs
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl

Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Place the pineapple slices and shrimp on the grill, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are cooked through. Remove them from the grill and chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces.

In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled pineapple and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Warm the taco shells on the grill for about 1 minute per side.

To assemble the tacos, spoon the pineapple and shrimp mixture into each taco shell. Top with shredded red cabbage, sliced avocado, jalapeno slices, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Garnish with cilantro leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Serve these grilled pineapple and shrimp tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for an added burst of citrus flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 8 servings and an average serving weight of 150g. Each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories, making it a flavorful and relatively light choice for lunch or dinner.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the shrimp in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and cilantro before grilling for an extra layer of fresh, zesty flavor. This will take your tacos to the next level and impress your guests with minimal effort.

I hope you enjoy making these grilled pineapple and shrimp tacos as much as I do! Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or add a spicy salsa for an extra kick. Happy cooking!
