Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Salsa and Garlic-Lime Mayo

Last week, I made the mistake of not posting tacos on Taco Tuesday. Man, did I hear it from you! Thanks for the input!

 

FOR THE TACOS

Juice of 3 limes

Chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp. cumin

Olive oil

Zest of 1 lime

Kosher salt, to taste

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined

8 tortillas, warmed, for serving

Lime wedges, for squeezing

Plastic squeeze bottle, for drizzling the garlic-lime mayo

 

In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, olive oil, lime zest and season with salt. Add shrimp and cover with plastic wrap. Let marinate 20 minutes in refrigerator.

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill shrimp until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per side.

Build tacos: add the salsa, then a few shrimp and a drizzle of the garlic-lime mayo to each taco. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
