Before grilling, peeled shrimp are marinated for several hours in lime juice and spices, including chipotle pepper. It imparts a wonderful smoky flavor to the seafood, even when grilled on an electric grill. Serve the shrimp with a tropical salsa made with pineapple, avocado, canned cactus, mango, and exotic spices. All the ingredients work harmoniously together, resulting in a fantastic flavor. Assemble the tacos on corn tortillas, topping the shrimp and salsa with spicy sour cream and fresh cilantro, and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Shrimps:

Place the shrimp, limes, and onions in a zip-lock plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, salt, cloves, lime juice, and chipotle pepper. Pour the mixture over the shrimp and seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Tropical salsa:

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, avocado, cactus, jalapeño, and mango. Add the cilantro, vinegar, vegetable oil, and thyme and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook over direct heat, turning once, until charred and pink, 2-3 minutes per side. Add the cooked shrimp to the salsa and toss. Season with salt to taste.

To serve, combine sour cream, adobo, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl. Assemble the tacos, starting with a corn tortilla, and top with 4-5 shrimp, 1/4 cup tropical salsa, a splash of sour cream, and a few cilantro leaves.
