Shrimp Tacos with Mango & Pineapple Slaw

Aug 7, 2024

These shrimp tacos are everything you want in a warm-weather dish: light, bright, and full of fresh flavor. Seasoned with our Key West Seafood Rub & Seasoning and topped with a tropical slaw of mango, pineapple, and a tangy lemon-balsamic dressing, each bite is a little vacation. It’s a coastal-inspired combination that brings balance, color, and that just-right hit of sweetness and spice.

Perfect for casual weeknight dinners or backyard gatherings, these tacos are endlessly adaptable. Try them with your favorite tortillas, swap in seasonal fruit, or leave the slaw fruit-free for a sharper, more savory take. However you serve them, they’re guaranteed to bring sunshine to the table—even if you’re nowhere near the ocean.

Ingredients

For the Shrimp

For the Slaw

  • ⅓ c. mayonnaise

  • 2 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar

  • ½ tsp. Dijon mustard

  • 1–2 tsp. lemon juice, plus zest of 1 lemon

  • 2 Tbsp. Salt Sisters Key West Rub & Seasoning

  • 7 oz. coleslaw mix (about ½ package)

  • ½ mango, peeled and diced

  • 1 c. pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced

  • ½ c. red onion, thinly sliced

To Serve

  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

  • ½ c. fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. Season the Shrimp. Place shrimp in a bowl, sprinkle with Pink Himalayan Mineral Salt, and toss to coat. Set aside.
  2. Make the Slaw. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon, lemon juice, zest, and Key West Rub & Seasoning until smooth. Add coleslaw mix, mango, pineapple, and red onion. Toss until everything is well coated. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Shrimp. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the Tortillas. Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap them in a towel and warm in the oven until pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos. Fill each tortilla with a few shrimp and a generous scoop of slaw. Top with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Fresh, flavorful, and packed with coastal charm—these tacos are a tropical escape in every bite.
