Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced red onion, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, stirring occasionally. Add the diced fresh pineapple and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.

Taco Assembly

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

  2. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous portion of the pineapple shrimp mixture. Top with sliced avocado and chopped fresh cilantro.

  3. 6
