Instructions
- Mix Hot Sauce and lime juice in large bowl. Remove 1/2 of the mixture and reserve. Add shrimp to bowl with remaining mixture, tossing to coat. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place avocado, cilantro and reserved hot sauce mixture in food processor. Cover. Process until smooth. Set aside.
- Remove shrimp from marinade mixture. Grill shrimp and pineapple over medium-high heat 8 - 10 minutes, turning occasionally, just until shrimp is pink and pineapple is lightly charred. Remove from grill and allow pineapple to cool just enough to handle. Chop pineapple into bite-size chunks. Grill tortillas 1 - 2 minutes per side, just until lightly toasted and charred.
Test Kitchen Tips:
- Thread shrimp onto skewers or use a grill basket for easier grilling.
- To make these indoors instead of on the grill, use a grill pan or large skillet to cook shrimp and lightly charring the pineapple.
- For a chunkier avocado spread, skip the food processor and mash the avocado with a fork until desired consistency; stir in the remaining hot sauce mixture.
