- In a nonmetal bowl, mix pineapple, cucumber, sauteed jalapeno, lime peel, lime juice and cilantro. Cover and set aside. Note: if using canned pineapple, drain it first.
- For The Shrimp Tacos:
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high. Add garlic and red onion and cook, stirring, until onion begins to caramelize, for about 8 minutes.
- Add chiles and half the tomatoes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in shrimp and cook another few minutes, until it turns a nice pink color. Remove from heat.
- To serve, divide lettuce among tortillas, then top tortillas with the shrimp mixture and remaining tomatoes. Spoon some pineapple salsa on top and sprinkle with green onions and salt to taste.
- Note: if you have extra pineapple salsa leftover, it's great with chips.
