Today’s Delight: Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite. The combination of succulent shrimp, sweet pineapple, and fiery spices is perfect for any occasion where you want to spice things up a bit. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 red chilies, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula
  • grill pan

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Toss in the shrimp, garlic, red chilies, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, cooking until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

While the shrimp are sizzling away, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pineapple chunks until they have nice grill marks on each side, bringing out their natural sweetness.

Once the shrimp and pineapple are ready, warm the corn tortillas in the grill pan for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with a generous spoonful of the spiced shrimp, grilled pineapple, and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro. Finish off with a squeeze of lime juice for a zesty kick.

These Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Tacos are bursting with flavor and texture, from the juicy shrimp to the sweet pineapple and fiery chilies. They are perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a fun family gathering.
