This dish is perfect for a sunny day when you’re craving something fresh, zesty, and a little bit spicy. The combination of juicy shrimp, sweet pineapple, and a kick of heat will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.

Ingredients

– 300g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 small pineapple, peeled and diced
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– 1 teaspoon of chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish
– 6 small corn tortillas

Kitchen Tools

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • tongs

Preparation

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced pineapple, bell pepper, and red onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before dicing it. The slight char adds a smoky sweetness to the dish that really takes it to the next level.

Serving

Once the filling is ready, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side. Place a generous spoonful of the shrimp and pineapple mixture onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra pop of freshness.

This recipe serves 3-4 people and each serving weighs approximately 200g. One serving of these Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos is around 350 calories.
