Here are the ingredients for the pickled onions, peach salsa, and grilled shrimp. Scroll to the bottom for the exact measurements.
Pickled Red Onions: Quickly pickle red onions in lime juice and salt. They add a tangy, crunchy element to the shrimp tacos. Peaches: Use ripe summer peaches for the best flavor. Avocado: Choose a ripe but firm avocado–It shouldn’t be mushy. When you push on the skin, it should give a little. Lime Juice: The zesty citrus balances the sweetness of the peaches. Cilantro enhances the overall flavor of the salsa and adds a vibrant green color. Seasoning: Chili powder, tajin and salt season the salsa and shrimp. Adding cayenne pepper to the shrimp gives them a spicy kick. Shrimp: Buying shelled, deveined jumbo shrimp will save you time. Corn Tortillas make these grilled shrimp tacos gluten-free.
Variations
Protein: Swap shrimp for salmon or any white fish. Tortillas: Use flour tortillas or crunchy taco shells. Peaches: Substitute nectarines or even pineapple or mango. Don’t like cilantro? Leave it out. Want mild tacos? Omit the cayenne. Save Time: Instead of making shrimp skewers, put the shrimp in an outdoor grill basket. No outdoor grill? Cook the shrimp on the stove in a grill pan or cast iron skillet.

Rice and Beans: Latin Yellow Rice, Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Instant Pot Refried Beans Chips and Dip: Salsa Verde, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo Vegetables: Skillet Mexican Zucchini, Romaine Salad
