To make it a little healthier And to incorporate seafood once a week, I came up with this recipe! Hope you try it out and let me know how it goes! So good! TROPICAL 🏝 SHRIMP TACOS INGREDIENTS:


Toppings to have on hand:
Fresh guacamole
Plain yogurt as a sour cream sub.
Shredded Mexican cheese or feta cheese
Black bean corn salsa (whole foods or trader joes)
Shredded lettuce
Pita or yellow corn tortillas (healthier option- Sahara brand)

Shrimp recipe:

• Soy sauce

• 2.5lbs of shrimp (raw, peeled, and deveined)

• 1 can of pineapple chunks

• 1 diced orange or yellow pepper

• 1 chopped small onion or 1/2 a large

• 1 teaspoon of garlic paste

• 1.5 tblsp Fresh cilantro

• 1/2 tblsp garlic powder

• Chipotle tobasco or Annie Chans Gouchichang sweet and spicy sauce

• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

• 1/4 teaspoon of Cumin

• Annie Chans Korean BBQ sauce or minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey & rice vinegar mixed together

• 1 Lemon or lime juiced
  

Directions
Rinse shrimp under cold water, remove tails. With scissors cut one shrimp into three pieces (this makes them in perfect bite size for tacos). Place shrimp in a bowl with garlic powder, garlic, cilantro, a squirt of 🍋 juice, 🍋 zest, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, sprinkle some chipotle tobasco or Annie Chans Gouchichang sweet and spicy sauce, salt and pepper, add less than a 1/4 tsp of cumin, 1/2 cup of Korean BBQ sauce or the Asian marinade. Toss shrimp in seasonings and marinade and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees if you have pita pockets as your taco tortilla.
In a wok or large deep pan, add another 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, add chopped onions, diced bell pepper and pineapple chunks. Stir fry until onions are translucent. Add shrimp. Cook shrimp on high for 3-4 minutes or until whitish orange. Towards the end add a splash of some soy sauce. Stir around one more time.

Place pitas spaced apart on a sheet of aluminum foil to heat them up in the oven for the tacos. Or if you have corn tortillas simply wrap them in a damp paper towel place on a plate and microwave for 40 seconds.
Assemble with all your favorite toppings and enjoy! :)
