Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Peel and devein shrimp if needed.
2 pounds fresh small to medium sized shrimp
Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with aluminum foil and lightly spraying with cooking spray.
In a medium sized bowl, use a whisk to combine the pineapple juice, lime juice, oil, honey, spices, and cilantro.
½ cup pineapple juice, Juice of 2 limes, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 2 Tablespoons honey, 2 cloves garlic, ¼ teaspoon chili powder or chili lime seasoning, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Place the shrimp into the mixture and use a pair of tongs or a fork to toss the shrimp in the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate while your oven heats up.
When your oven is ready, spread the shrimp out onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Place the shrimp into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until pink all the way through.
Serve with warm tortillas, fresh chopped cabbage, corn relish, and crema to make delicious shrimp tacos.
Notes
If using a pre-mixed chili-lime rub or seasoning mixture, omit the chili powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Those ingredients are likely already in the mix.
Try garlic paste rather than mincing your own garlic. Use about a teaspoon of garlic paste to replace each clove of garlic.
You can also make this recipe on the stove in a skillet. Simply coat the skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Pour the marinated shrimp into the pan in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed.
