Preparation
1
Prep shrimp

  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Add shrimp, Mexican Seasoning, half the garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 
  • Thread shrimp onto skewers. (TIP: Leave shrimp unskewered, if desired. See tip in Step 5.)

2
Prep and make lime crema

  • Zest, then juice lime.
  • Roughly chop chives
  • Cut pineapple into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
  • Add lime zest, sour cream, 1 tsp (2 tsp) water, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.
  • Wrap tortillas in foil. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, make 2 packets with 6 tortillas in each.)

3
Make slaw and salsa

  • Combine mayo, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice and 1/2 (1 tsp) tsp sugar in a bowl.
  • Add coleslaw cabbage mix, half the chives and remaining garlic. (NOTE: Reference garlic guide.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Add 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime juice and a pinch of sugar to another bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until sugar dissolves
  • Stir in pineapple, remaining chives and 1 tbsp jalapeños. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) 

4
Warm tortillas

  • Add tortilla packet to one side of the grill.
  • Grill, flipping once, until warmed through, 2-3 min per side.
  • Remove tortilla packet from the grill and set aside still wrapped.

5
Grill shrimp

  • Meanwhile, add shrimp skewers to the other side of the grill.
  • Grill, flipping shrimp once, until cooked through, 2-3 min per side.** (TIP: If you didn't want to skewer shrimp, place 1-2 sheets of foil on the grill, then arrange shrimp in a single layer on foil. Follow the same cooking instructions.)

6
Finish and serve

  • Remove shrimp from skewers.
  • Divide tortillas between plates, then top with coleslaw and shrimp.
  • Dollop with lime crema. Spoon pineapple-jalapeño salsa over top.
