These shrimp tacos make for a light, refreshing, quick meal that’s perfect for summer!

Bring a taste of Mexican flare to your table with this jazzy Grilled Pineapple and BBQ Shrimp Taco recipe that combines the sweetness of fresh shrimp with a spicy BBQ sauce, topped with the tropical flavor of grilled pineapple. This is one that will delight your family as well as guests for a memorable BBQ.

Tips:

• Herb shears work really well for finely cutting cilantro.
• If making homemade guacamole, try this recipe.
• When choosing a tortilla, make your own or look for FfL-friendly ingredients. A good place to find tortillas, if not from a local bakery, is in the refrigerator or freezer section. We typically purchase partially cooked tortillas from the brand “Cabo Chips” but there are many other companies such as “Food For Life.” (Why the freezer or fridge section? No added preservatives = limited shelf life.)

Some ways to “reinvent” your leftover Grilled Pineapple and BBQ Shrimp Tacos:

Leftovers are king when trying to simplify eating real foods. There’s nothing better than having prepared food on hand for quick and easy meals throughout the week. But eating the same thing 2 or 3 nights in a row can get a tad boring.

To break up the monotony, here are some of our favorite ways to reinvent your leftover grilled pineapple and BBQ shrimp and create an entirely new meal:

• Toss your leftover shrimp and pineapple with Pesto, penne pasta and sauteèd spinach.
• Make a shrimp quiche.
• Top a homemade pizza with your leftover shrimp and pineapple (using a dough ball, a tortilla or a toasted bagel).
• Mix leftovers in a bowl with rice, beans and sliced avocado.
• Serve them on a bed of greens with a citrus vinaigrette.
• Add leftovers to quesadillas and top with fresh pico de gallo.
