Ingredients

For The Pineapple Salsa:

1 cup diced fresh or canned pineapple

1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped

1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and minced

1/2 tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. grated lime peel

3 tbsp. lime juice

2 tbsp. cilantro, minced

For The Shrimp Tacos:

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 can (4 oz.) diced green chiles

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups lettuce, finely shredded

6 to 12 warm corn tortillas

2 tbsp. green onions, chopped

salt to taste

Directions

For The Pineapple Salsa:

Sautee the minced jalapeno in 1/2 tbsp. of olive oil for a few minutes.

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.

My favorite dish at a restraunt called Bajio's is the shrimp tacos with fresh mango salsa. These sound very similar! Great recipe!

Well, another "must make"! I'm so glad I'm finally catching up on the many recipes I missed in my absence - this one is at the top of the list. We love seafood tacos, and especially love fruity spicy salsas to go along with them...this recipe fills both loves - thanks, Juels!
