Pineapple Shrimp Tacos

When I was in Hawaii, we had pineapple EVERYTHING. Seriously, I never knew how versatile the fruit was! One of my favorite dishes was pineapple tacos, which I prompty worked on perfecting when we got back. These tacos are my fave: super simple, yet so flavorful – they’re the perfect choice for dinner! The pineapple slices make the tacos slightly sweet, while the marinated red onion evens out that sweetness with a bit of a tang. The result? A perfectly balanced, healthy, and wholesome taco dish!
