Health Highlights

Ingredients


2 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 tsp Cumin
2 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
454 gm Shrimp, cooked (no tails, peeled, deveined, thawed, if frozen)
1 cup diced Pineapple
2 tbsp Green onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Red onion (chopped)
2 tbsp Cilantro (coriander) (chopped, to taste)
1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh)
2 cup shredded Red cabbage
12 small tortilla(s) Tortilla, corn

Instructions


  1. Mix olive oil, garlic, and cumin in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss until coated well. Set aside to marinate while preparing the salsa. The shrimp mixture can also be made ahead of time and marinated in the refrigerator.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, green onion, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Cover and set aside.
  3. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp mixture to the skillet and cook for approximately 4 minutes, turning shrimp once, until heated through. (Shrimp can also be grilled in a vegetable-type grill basket). 
  4. Assemble tacos by dividing the shrimp mixture among the tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage and pineapple salsa. 
  5. To store leftovers, place the shrimp mixture and pineapple salsa in separate containers and assemble tacos the following day. 

Notes:

  • Use store-bought shredded slaw instead of shredding cabbage to save time.
  • The recipe also tastes great with chicken, use leftovers or pick up a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery store on the way home.
