Instructions
- For the shrimp: Heat the olive oil over high heat in a large pan. Season both sides of the shrimp with chili powder and salt to taste. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- For the pineapple salsa: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, add salt to taste. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, up to 4 hours.
- To serve Warm the tortillas. Add a handful of cabbage to each tortilla and place the shrimp on top of the cabbage. Top with pineapple salsa and serve immediately.
Notes
- Instead of shrimp, prepare these spicy tacos with diced chicken, different types of fish like tilapia, catfish, or salmon, or even tofu.
- Avoid overcooking the shrimp for the best flavors and textures.
- Create a simple fresh coleslaw with lime juice for these tacos.
- For extra spice, you can add your favorite hot sauce or extra jalapeños to the taco recipe.
- Serve these tacos with a homemade avocado crema or cotija cheese crumbles.
- Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three to four days. Separate the tortillas and salsa from the shrimp to keep everything fresh-flavored.
