Instructions
Step 1: Season the shrimp
Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with jerk seasoning until evenly coated on all sides.
Step 2: Cook the shrimp
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring once, until pink and opaque.
Step 3: Add the pineapple
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet with the shrimp.
Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is lightly caramelized and warmed through.
Step 4: Warm the tortillas
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side, or until warm and flexible.
Step 5: Assemble the wraps
Fill each tortilla with jerk shrimp and pineapple.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice if desired, then serve immediately.
Tips for Best Flavor
Don’t overcrowd the pan — shrimp cook best when they can sear.
If the seasoning sticks too much, add a splash of water or oil.
Taste your jerk seasoning first; some brands are much spicier than others.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps pair perfectly with:
Coconut rice
Simple cabbage slaw
Mango salsa
Black beans or grilled corn
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
Refrigerator: Store shrimp and pineapple separately from tortillas for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm shrimp gently in a skillet to avoid overcooking.
Make-ahead: Shrimp can be seasoned in advance and cooked just before serving.
Easy Variations
Swap the protein: Use chicken strips or crispy tofu instead of shrimp
Add crunch: Shredded cabbage, lettuce, or red onion
Go low-carb: Serve in lettuce wraps or over rice
Extra heat: Add chili sauce or sliced jalapeños
