Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 to 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Chili powder to taste
9 to 12 corn tortillas
2 avocados, ripe and sliced
1 1/2 cups prepared pineapple salsa
2 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cups cooked beans
Directions
Prepare the pineapple salsa and set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat the grapeseed oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Season generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp begin to turn pink and slightly crispy on the edges.
Carefully flip each shrimp using tongs. Season the cooked side with additional salt, pepper, and chili powder. Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp are opaque throughout and register 145°F at the thickest part.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet to a clean plate and set aside.
Wrap the corn tortillas in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds until pliable and hot.
Assemble the tacos by placing shrimp, sliced avocado, and pineapple salsa in each warm tortilla. Serve immediately with cooked rice and beans on the side.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any major Charlotte chain—shrimp, avocado, and corn tortillas are standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Kroger, and Walmart, with pineapple salsa either jarred or easily made from fresh pineapple sold year-round. Cost runs roughly $4–5 per serving depending on shrimp price, which is reasonable for a protein-centered meal. The 20-minute window is honest if shrimp are pre-peeled and salsa is bought jarred, though fresh salsa prep adds 5–8 minutes; rice and beans need advance cooking or canned options, which the recipe should specify. This is weeknight-friendly, pairs well as a casual family meal, but reheats unevenly—the shrimp toughens and tortillas dry out, making it a same-night dish best eaten fresh.
