1 lb large shrimp (raw, thawed, tails removed)

1¼ cups fresh pineapple (diced)

¼ cup red bell pepper (diced)

2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)

1 tbsp lime juice

½ cup sour cream

1 tbsp adobo sauce from the can

½ tbsp lime juice

10 corn tortillas

red cabbage (sliced thin)

lime wedges

sliced avocado

Directions

Prepare Shrimp Marinade

In a small blender add the oil, lime juice, peppers, adobo sauce, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cumin. Blend until smooth.

Marinate the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to a mixing bowl and pour the sauce over top. Toss to coat the shrimp. Let marinade for 15 minutes.

Make Pineapple Salsa

During this time make the salsa by tossing the pineapple, red bell pepper, cilantro and lime juice together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

Make Shrimp Sauce

Whisk together the sour cream, adobo sauce, and lime juice until smooth.

Warm Tortillas

Warm tortillas before filling— (oven) wrap a stack in foil and heat in a 375°F oven, or (stove-top) warm individually in the skillet or in the (microwave) for 10–15 seconds so they are soft and pliable.

Skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet or medium skillet over medium heat and heat each tortilla until starting to lightly brown. Cover tortillas with a tea towel to keep warm and moist.

Cook Shrimp

Heat the same skillet with 1 tablespoon oil on the stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, add about half the shrimp and cook each side for about 2 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove to a clean plate and cook the second batch, adding more oil to the pan, if needed.

Assemble Shrimp Tacos

Assemble each taco with 3-4 shrimp, salsa, and sauce. Garnish with your desired toppings and enjoy.
