Today’s Unique Dish: Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos

I’m excited to share this delicious and unexpected recipe with you today! The combination of spicy shrimp, sweet pineapple, and savory seasonings in these tacos is perfect for a fun and flavorful meal. Let’s jump right into how to make these mouthwatering Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos.

Ingredients:

  • 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 200g fresh pineapple, diced
  • 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp oil for cooking

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced pineapple, red onion, and jalapeno. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the pineapple starts to caramelize and the onions are translucent. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and squeeze the lime juice over everything. Stir to combine all the flavors.

Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Fill each tortilla with the spicy pineapple shrimp mixture and top with fresh cilantro.

Unique Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before adding it to the skillet. The caramelized grill marks will add a smoky sweetness to your tacos that will take them to the next level!

Once assembled, these Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos weigh approximately 760g in total. This recipe makes 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 190g. Each serving is roughly 300 calories.

I hope you give these Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos a try and enjoy the unexpected combination of flavors! Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or spice levels. Happy cooking!
