Preparation
1
Prep shrimp

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to 500°F over medium heat. Garlic Guide for Step 3 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp extra! Heat Guide for Step 3 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/2 tbsp mild, 1 tbsp medium, 1 1/2 tbsp spicy and 2 tbsp extra-spicy! 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 oil (dbl for 4 ppl) 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 cilantro. 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 water, 1 tsp lime juice and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl all for 4 ppl) 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

Add mayo, 1/2 tbsp water, 1 tsp lime juice and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl all for 4 ppl) to a large bowl, then stir until sugar dissolves. Add coleslaw cabbage mix, half the cilantro and remaining garlic, then toss to combine. (NOTE: Reference garlic guide.) Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. Add remaining lime juice and a pinch of sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to another small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir until sugar dissolves. Add pineapple, remaining cilantro and 1 tbsp jalapeños, then stir to combine. (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.
