How To Make cool pineapple shrimp salsa or pico
-
Step 1Chop and drain the pineapple (if necessary) and set aside. Depending on how you want to serve the dish, you can use chunks (pico de gallo or ceviche style) or crushed pineapple (more of a salsa style).
-
Step 2Chop the shrimp into pieces and place into a glass or plastic bowl with a lid.
-
Step 3Mix the lime juice, garlic, and Old Bay; pour over shrimp and place in the fridge to marinate.
-
Step 4Wash and chop red pepper, red onion, and jalapeño. Add the pineapple and pineapple juice, and salt and pepper. If it is too liquid for your taste, drain it only before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
-
Step 5Mix all the ingredients. Keep chilled until serving as a dip with chips, celery, or use as a garnish for meats or tacos or topping for salads.
