Since I'm still in a bit of a food coma from indulging in a few too many holiday delights, I wanted something light and low cal for lunch. So I decided to go with these fabulous Shrimp Tacos. Cest bon! A friend brought over 10 lbs of shrimp to boil, for the party, and I had about a pound left that I had stashed in the fridge when no one was looking. So easy and when I tell you that they're out of this world, then you know that I mean it, cher! Enjoy!
1 lb. cooked shrimp
8 (8 inch soft taco size flour tortillas)
Pineapple salsa (recipe below)
Shredded lettuce
Fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeno slices for garnish
Remoulade sauce
Wrap tortillas in foil, and warm in a 325 degree oven, for 10 minutes. Add lettuce, cooked shrimp, pineapple salsa, and top with cilantro, jalapenos, and a little remoulade sauce.

Grilled Pineapple Salsa

8 fresh pineapple slices
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, minced
2 tbs.'s red bell pepper, minced
2 tbs.'s green bell pepper, minced
1 tbs. cilantro, chopped
Grill pineapple slices for 3 minutes on each side. Allow to cool, and dice into small chunks and place in a medium bowl. Combine with remaining ingredients, mix well and chill for 30 minutes. *One large can of drained pineapple tidbits can be substituted for the fresh pineapple.

Holiday Fun
It was a great holiday weekend, here in Cajun country, and after our BBQ, we all went down to to the annual Red, White, and Boom celebration in downtown Lafayette. The Acadiana Symphony played a beautiful Fourth of July concert at Parc International.
Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Stomp Band also entertained the huge crowd with their highly seasoned Zydeco music. More than a few hardy souls were dancing in nitty- gritty, Zydeco mode. It was hot, but there was a light breeze and an excitement in the air!
We were in dire need of refreshment, by this time, so we walked across to Agave Cantina and had a round of frozen margaritas before the fireworks. It was a great celebration, honoring our freedom and those who have fought for it. How did you celebrate the Fourth?
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of my new followers. So happy to have you along and I'll be around to visit ya'll soon. Wishing all of you a wonderful week. Merci beaucoup for stopping by!

Lovely Shrimps!! Wish I had some in my fridge too LOL but if they were in the the form of your very appetising recipe I think they would be there for just a few minutes LOL. Glad you had a good 4 July
I recently had shrimp tacos that I enjoyed--the standard lime, cilantro, avocado variety.
But you know I'd rather some made with shrimp boil shrimp and remoulade!
Glad you had a nice 4th!

Oh, I need to make these soon! They look so fresh and yummy. I just wish I had some of those good Louisiana shrimp for mine. Love the pineapple salsa. I bet that is the perfect condiment for the shrimp. Yum!
That looks amazing! Not sure if I'd like the shrimp or not, I could add in chicken instead :)
Thanks for sharing!

I can't eat shrimp but I sure can eat that pineapple salsa - so delicious.
I am crazy in love with fruit salsas and make them all of the time. Love that you've grilled the pineapple. Grilling brings out such a nice flavor. Happy Fresh Food Friday.
