Hey Peeps. Are you looking forward to BBQ season? Because if you are, then you might want to investigate these jerk shrimp tacos with sweetcorn, mango and pineapple. Because once you do, you might just find yourself addicted, to both the shrimps and BBQ’s, in a very good way.

This recipe is so simple to make.  First fire up your BBQ (or your grill if you prefer). Then start out with some really gorgeous and tasty red shrimp.  Just add some jerk seasoning paste, grill them for a few minutes on each side and you are good to go. See, I told you. Eeeeeeeeeasy.

Then the toppings. Oh the toppings people. Pineapple + mango + sweetcorn + jerk shrimp = awesome tacos = result. Imagine each mouthful coming with a burst of spicy jerk shrimp, creaminess from the sweet corn and juicy sweetness from the pineapple and mango.

Again (I really want to emphasise this folks, because it is something that is close to my heart), using frozen fruits and veggies here means it is dead easy, and also you don’t waste anything. Just take as much as you want from the bag and put the rest back in the deep freeze. No need to worry about odd halves of pineapple going off, or anything like that.
