Today’s Delight: Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for a casual weekend get-together or a quick weeknight dinner. These spicy shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa are bursting with flavor and sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of juicy shrimp, tangy pineapple, and a kick of spice is simply irresistible.

Ingredients:

  • 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pineapple, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 8 taco shells
  • Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • chopping board
  • knife
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

To start, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine diced pineapple, minced jalapeno, chopped red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and mix well to combine all the flavors.

Warm up the taco shells in the skillet for a few seconds on each side. Assemble the tacos by placing a couple of shrimp in each shell, topping with the pineapple salsa, and garnishing with extra cilantro if desired.

This dish serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 200g. One serving of these delicious shrimp tacos is around 350 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, lightly toast the taco shells before assembling the tacos. It adds a nice crunch and enhances the overall taste of the dish.

I hope you give these spicy shrimp tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings and spices. Happy cooking!
