Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Large shrimp Peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder For seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder For seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For searing
  • 8 Corn tortillas
  • 1 cup Fresh pineapple Finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Red onion Finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup Shredded lettuce Romaine or iceberg
  • 1/4 cup Creamy cilantro sauce Store-bought or homemade

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pineapple salsa by combining the diced fresh pineapple, red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Toss well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  • Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and cooked through. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
  • Assemble the tacos by dividing the shredded lettuce evenly among the warm tortillas. Top with the seared shrimp and a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa.
  • Drizzle the tacos with creamy cilantro sauce, serve immediately with extra lime wedges, and enjoy.
