Ingredients  

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • For the salsa:
  • 2 cups pineapple
  • 1 cup watermelon
  • 1/3 cup loosely packed cilantro
  • ¼ cup radishes, diced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar (ACV)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3/4 cup shredded kale or cabbage
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced

Instructions 

  1. Clean and peel shrimp and defrost if needed. I used frozen and defrosted for a few hours in the refrigerator. Season with paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Sautee the shrimp over medium high heat, until browned on both sides (about 8-10 minutes). If you want to heat up the tortillas, do it now.
  3. While shrimp is cooking, make your watermelon pineapple salsa. Adjust ACV, lime juice and honey as needed. Let it sit to soak up the juices.
  4. Once ready to plate, place shrimp on tortillas and top with salsa. Garnish with cilantro, lime juice and/or avocado, as desired.
