*This Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Chipotle Sauce recipe is part of a sponsored partnership in collaboration with DOLE and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. As always, all opinions are my own.
Life can get really hectic at times. I mean, sometimes I really wonder how is it that we are capable of keeping a full-time job and still manage the side gig, basketball practice and games six times per week, homework, school projects, house cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. I am surprised that I still somehow manage to find time to cook.
On the days when I’m feeling completely overwhelmed by the number of things on my to-do list, dinners like these easy shrimp tacos are my favorite thing in the world. Not only because they are quick and easy, but because they are also amazingly delicious and good food makes me happy. Really, really happy.
Seriously, what is not good about perfectly seasoned jumbo shrimp laying on a bed of slaw, avocado, tomato, and jalapeño salsa wrapped with warm corn tortillas and drizzled with a sweet and spicy pineapple-chipotle sauce?
Doesn’t that just make your mouth water?
I swear. When I bit into these tacos I felt a deep joy that made me want to get up and dance.
What makes these tacos extra delicious? The incredible sauce. To make it, I mixed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, mayo, lime juice and Dole Crushed Pineapple in a food processor until well combined. This sauce comes together in just about 2 minutes and I can already think of multiple dishes you can add it to and make them stand out. Burgers anyone?

Having a lot of trouble with the sauce. It seems I’m only getting about 3 tablespoons worth of sauce in the picture it looks like a cup what am I doing wrong?
Vanessa says
Hi Susan, what you see in the picture is not a cup. This recipe will make about 3-4 tablespoons of the sauce.

Lori Coniker says
having trouble with your sauce ingredients, it says 1/2 chipotle pepper, is this a tablespoon, 1/2 the can? what I’m confused.
Vanessa says
Hi Lori,
When you buy the can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you’ll find that there are individual peppers inside the container. I used half of one of the peppers. You can double the recipe to use one full pepper from the can of you prefer.
Hope that was helpful. 🙂
Bianca says

Vanessa says
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Kati says
Is the slaw the cilantro avacado and tomato? Or is the slaw just cabbage?
Thank you!
Vanessa says
The slaw is just cabbage dressed with lime juice, salt and pepper.
