Shrimp and pineapple are a tasty combination. In this recipe, they're broiled on skewers to bring out their flavor before assembling them into tacos. Served with a black bean salad and topped with your choice of avocado, salsa verde, cilantro, and hot sauce, this meal is a quick and easy option for dinner or even a get-together.

Ingredients

  • 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • kosher salt and black pepper

  • 1 pound frozen peeled and deveined large shrimp, thawed

  • ½ medium pineapple—peeled, cored, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (about 4 cups)

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 8 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed

  • cut-up avocado, salsa verde, cilantro, and hot sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. Soak 8 small wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the beans, scallions, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat broiler. Thread the shrimp and pineapple onto the skewers and place on a foil-lined large broilerproof baking sheet. Rub with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with the cumin, cayenne, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

  3. Broil the skewers until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve with the tortillas, avocado, salsa verde, cilantro, and hot sauce and the bean salad.
