Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup ripe mango, diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese, thinly sliced radishes, avocado slices or guacamole, extra lime wedges

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Combine diced mango, pineapple, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice and salt, stir gently and set aside for 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill pan if using.
  5. Grill shrimp in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.
  6. Warm corn tortillas on the grill or dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred.
  7. Assemble tacos by placing 3-4 shrimp on each tortilla, topping with mango pineapple salsa and optional garnishes.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Watch shrimp closely while grilling to prevent overcooking. Warm tortillas before assembling tacos for best texture. Add salsa fresh after cooking shrimp to avoid burning the fruit.
