These Roasted Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Salsa are light, fresh, and full of savory-sweet flavor. They’re also very easy to make, and come together quickly, making them an ideal weeknight meal.
We’re not strangers to tacos made with seafood, right? These Salmon BLT Tacos are still a favorite in my house. I think you’d love them, too.
I think that seafood in tacos (except for maybe fried/grilled fish) can be a little unexpected. But in my opinion, this kind of unexpected can be a really good thing.

The combination of savory taco seasoning on sweet shrimp and sweet/tangy/spicy salsa is pretty perfectly complementary. I’m was getting ready to say that it’s a great meal for summertime, but really, it’s a great meal for any season.

- 2 cups pineapple, diced
- 1 cup tomato, diced
- 1/2 - 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
- 2 tbs cilantro, minced
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 6-8 corn tortillas
- guacamole, optional
- queso fresco, optional
-
Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
-
Place the shrimp, salt, pepper, taco seasoning, and lime juice in a large zip top bag. Close the bag and shake until all shrimp are covered in seasoning.
-
Place the seasoned shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until shrimp are just cooked through.
-
One at a time, toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until they just begin to crisp (~1-2 minutes per side).
-
Fill the tortillas with shrimp and salsa, as well as whatever other toppings you'd like.
Need more taco action in your life? I got you! Salmon BLT Tacos are unexpected and delicious. Three Ingredient Slow Cooker Taco Chicken and Pressure Cooker Carnitas are a little more traditional, but no less tasty.
Taco night is a weekly occurrence in this house (and to be honest, frequently more than once a week). Seafood tacos are so good! Love the fruity salsa with it in this recipe!
