These tacos are loaded with creamy slaw, spiced shrimp and sweet & spicy pineapple salsa. It is a killer combination that you will love! They are super easy to put together and are perfect for taco Tuesdays.

I make things super easy on myself and use my homemade Taco Seasoning to spice up the shrimp. I always have a batch on hand to make easy meals like this. I use a hearty amount to really give these tacos a boost of flavor.

I can’t have any sort of fish or seafood taco without a cabbage slaw, it is how I always grew up eating them. The slaw for these tacos is super easy and goes perfectly with the spiced shrimp. I thinly slice a small head of green cabbage and toss it with a dressing made with sour cream (we use lactose free), lime juice, pineapple juice and cilantro. It is so yummy!

You can use whatever taco shells you prefer. Corn would be a great option for these. My favorite though is Siete grain free tortillas. They are Paleo and gluten free but have such great flavor and texture. I actually get mine in the freezer section of my local Walmart.

Pineapple Salsa:
  • 1 can pineapple – I use some of the juice in the slaw!
  • 2 Tbls cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno – seeded & diced
  • 2 Tbls red onion -diced
  • A squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt

The salsa is such a perfect combination of sweet & spicy! I love it with these tacos or any tacos for that matter. So yummy.
