How to make Shrimp tacos with pineapple

1. Place a rack in the highest position in the oven and preheat the grill.

2. In a small bowl, toss the red onion with lime juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt; set aside.

3. On a rimmed baking tray, toss the pineapple with 1 tablespoon of oil and arrange it in a single layer on one half of the tray; reserve the bowl.

4. Grill the pineapple until lightly charred around the edges, about 5–8 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, in the reserved bowl, toss the shrimp with Sriracha and the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper, then toss again.

6. Remove the baking tray from the grill and use a spatula to turn the pineapple pieces over. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the empty half of the tray.

7. Grill until the tops of the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes.

8. Remove from the grill and turn the shrimp (leave the pineapple undisturbed). Grill again until the shrimp are fully cooked, 1–2 minutes.

9. Transfer the shrimp and pineapple to a large bowl and season with additional salt and pepper.

10. Drain the soaking liquid from the onion into the bowl with the shrimp and pineapple; set the onion aside and toss the shrimp and pineapple in the pickling liquid.

11. Serve the shrimp mixture with tortillas, avocado, jalapeño, coriander, lime wedges, and the reserved pickled onion for making tacos.
