Shrimp Tacos



I love mexican food and Matt loves shrimp so I decided to make shrimp tacos. I just marinated the shrimp in olive oil and cajun seasoning for a few hours. Then cooked them in the oven for about 12 minutes. I like to cook them in the oven instead of grilling the shrimp because I think the grill can dry them out. Whereas in the oven they are able to steam in their own juices. I wanted to try a new topping instead of lettuce so I used red cabbage. The cabbage gave the taco a nice crunch. Then I finished it off with a pineapple salsa. For the salsa I just combined a bottle of salsa from the store and crushed pineapple. Then I used a little monterey jack cheese that is melted into the corn tortilla.
