Love! Love! Love! The flavors are so unique and unexpected. This will be added to my dinner rotation.

Not bad. Personally I didn't care for the crema or the pineapple salsa. The shrimp flavor was great though! Next time if I don't use just the shrimp in tacos then I will serve the shrimp with rice. Great shrimp but my personal preference didn't care for the crema or salsa.

Loved his dish, although I thought that the directions about the pineapple salsa wasn't very clear to me, so I prepared it using grilled pineapples, onions, and some green peppers, and then added a bit of corn. Absolutely delicious in the taco. The shrimp with the jerk seasoning is excellent. I let it marinade overnight, and it was just awesome. The crema added a nice little zest to this dish. I will definitely make this again, and recommend that you give it a try.

My husband and I prepared this together - he grilled the pineapple and shrimp and I put everything together. Fun and super satisfying. I suggest frying the tortilla shells in a bit of oil - less healthy but oh so tasty.
