For the Grilled Shrimp:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin

For the Avocado Salad:

• 2 ripe avocados, diced
• ½ red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving:

• 8 soft corn tortillas
• 1 cup coconut rice (prepared according to package instructions)
• Lime wedges (optional)
• Extra cilantro leaves (optional)

Marinate and Grill the Shrimp:

• Marinate the Shrimp: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
• Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
• Grill the Shrimp: Place the shrimp on the preheated grill skewers or a grill basket. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have nice grill marks.
• Glaze with BBQ Sauce: During the last minute of grilling, brush the Pineapple Jalapeño BBQ Sauce generously over the shrimp, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.

Prepare the Avocado Salad:

• Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, finely chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
• Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lime juice over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the avocados remain intact.

 Assemble the Shrimp Tacos:

• Warm the Tortillas: Heat the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable.
• Build the Tacos: Place a generous portion of grilled shrimp onto each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of avocado salad and a drizzle of additional Pineapple Jalapeño BBQ Sauce if desired.
• Add Sides: Serve the tacos with a side of coconut rice, lime wedges, and extra cilantro leaves for garnish.

Enhance your meal with a refreshing Mango Margarita or a crisp Tropical IPA to complement the sweet and spicy flavors of the shrimp tacos. For a non-alcoholic option, try a Cucumber Mint Lemonade for a cool and invigorating drink.
