Instructions
Mix together the slaw ingredients, season with salt and sugar, and set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry before seasoning with the chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and sear on each side around 1 minute until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the pineapple and sear on each side around 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the tortillas and cook around 1 minute until warm and pliable.
Assemble your tacos with the slaw as a base topped with the shrimp, pineapple and avocado. Serve with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
