Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds large shrimp peeled, deveined, tails off
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 2 limes divided
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 12 corn tortillas store-bought or homemade
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- Easy Guacamole for topping
Instructions
- Place an oven rack about 6" from the top and preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Thread the shrimp onto wooden skewers, alternating with pineapple chunks.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, the juice from ½ of a lime, and spices to form a seasoning paste. Add the shrimp and pineapple pieces and toss to coat with the spices. Reserve remaining lime for slicing into wedges and squeezing over the tacos.
- Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush with the seasoning on both sides.
- Place the sheet pan under the broiler for 2 minutes, carefully flipping the skewers with tongs, and cook on the other side for 2 more minutes. Once the shrimp is no longer translucent and have turned pink (no more than 5 minutes total), remove the sheet pan from the oven.
- To assemble tacos, place a generous bed of purple cabbage over a tortilla, top with some cilantro, slide the shrimp and pineapple from the skewers onto the taco, and top with guacamole. Squeeze a lime wedge or two per taco and enjoy!
