Tips To Make The Best Shrimp Taco With Pineapple Salsa
- To make your life easier, prepare the pineapple salsa before or the day before. Suppose you are going to make something other than pineapple salsa. It would be best to garnish the tacos with simple toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sliced radish, jalapeno, cilantro leaves, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Could you make sure to clean your shrimp or buy deveined shrimp? If you use whole frozen shrimp, you must thaw it and devein it. If it is entirely fresh shrimp, you still need to devein it.
- Pat the shrimp dry before cooking so the oil doesn’t splatter as much.
How Do I Thaw Frozen Shrimp?
Thawing frozen shrimp is simple. If you have time to thaw it overnight, place a bag of frozen shrimp in the refrigerator and allow it to melt. You will know it has finished thawing when the shrimp become translucent. If you don’t plan your meals far enough in advance, you can also thaw shrimp within 45 minutes. You must place shrimp into a Ziplock bag and submerge the bag in cold water. Make sure you don’t use hot or warm water since it will cook the shrimp. You should also never thaw your shrimp by leaving it at room temperature. This will allow bacteria to grow, and you may get food poisoning.
Preparation
In a medium bowl, toss the cleaned shrimp with lime zest, lime juice, and the rest of the seasoning, including the garlic and the diced jalapeño. Let the shrimp marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove with a bit of olive oil. Add the marinated shrimp and sauté for about 3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turns pinkish. Make sure you don't overcook the shrimp.
Warm the corn tortilla either on a skillet on a stovetop or in the oven. Assemble your tacos, serve, and enjoy!
