Tajín, a Mexican chile-lime seasoning, adds a spicy and acidic punch to sweet and mild shrimp. Opt for a low-sodium chile-lime seasoning, or improvise by combining chili powder, a little lime zest and a healthy squeeze of lime juice. Look for pineapple that’s already been peeled and cored for speedier prep.

In another medium bowl, toss shrimp with chile-lime seasoning until evenly coated.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp; cook, undisturbed, until mostly cooked through and golden brown on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp; cook, stirring often, until opaque and fully cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Greg DuPree
Divide the shrimp among 8 tortillas; top each with coleslaw mixture. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
