# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure shrimp are evenly coated.
03 -
On the prepared sheet pan, arrange pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño in a single layer. Drizzle lightly with extra olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Roast for 8 minutes.
04 -
Remove the pan from the oven. Gently toss the roasted vegetables and pineapple. Evenly distribute the marinated shrimp over the vegetables. Return to oven and roast for an additional 6–7 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
05 -
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Fill each tortilla with roasted shrimp, pineapple, and vegetables. Garnish with shredded red cabbage, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime.
