Today’s Recipe: Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

Hello foodies! Today I am excited to share with you a recipe that always brings a taste of summer to my kitchen, even in the middle of winter. These spicy shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa are a burst of flavor and freshness that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite.

For this vibrant dish, you will need the following ingredients (weights are approximate):

  • 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

To bring this recipe to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.

In a mixing bowl, combine diced pineapple, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to make the salsa. Mix well and set aside.

Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable. Assemble your tacos by filling each tortilla with spicy shrimp and a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa.

Serve your spicy shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors and textures in every bite.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 133g. One serving of these spicy shrimp tacos clocks in at approximately 250 calories.

A clever tip to make this dish even more delicious is to char the tortillas slightly over an open flame before assembling the tacos. This will add a smoky flavor that complements the spicy shrimp and sweet pineapple salsa perfectly.

I hope you give these spicy shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa a try soon and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or add a squeeze of extra lime for a zesty kick. Bon appétit!
