These blackened shrimp tacos with pineapple are bright and summery. Shrimp is grilled with a homemade blackened seasoning, and a delicious grilled fresh pineapple salsa tops them off. Add sour cream if you want to cool them down a touch.

Blackened Seasoning Mix

  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate. Combine paprika, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
