Ingredients for Hawaiian Shrimp Tacos

Method

Instructions for Preparing Hawaiian Shrimp Tacos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pineapple-Jerk Sauce

    In a blender, combine diced pineapple, jerk seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Pour the pineapple-jerk sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas on medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a generous amount of sautéed shrimp on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, Chihuahua cheese, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of chipotle aioli.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side.
