Are you a fan of bright, filling and delicious salads? This Shrimp Pineapple Salad is so delicious and simple to make! It’s like a pineapple salsa recipe with added shrimp. 

Pineapple Shrimp Salad

The recipe for this Shrimp Pineapple Salad is super easy. I made mine spicy by using jalapeños but if you don’t like spicy peppers, you can swap the jalapeños with green bell peppers.

Recipes notes and tips

  • If you like avocados, you can add that to the Pineapple Shrimp Salad as well. 
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice if you can, tastes much better than bottled.
  • Mix well until the dressing coats everything well.
  • I recommend making sure your red onion is finely chopped so that you don’t get large pieces in each bite. 
  • You can use peeled and deveined shrimp to save time

Frequently asked questions

How to peel shrimp

 If your shrimp have shells on them, you can easily remove them by pulling the main part of the shell off with your fingers, then removing the tail end of the shell.

You may also need to devein your shrimp. If you see a dark line running across the top of the the shrimp, you can remove it by using a paring knife to cut a slit along the top of the shrimp, then use a knife or wooden skewer to remove the vein.

Ways to serve this salad

You can have this delicious Shrimp Pineapple Salad on it’s own or you can serve it up in a variety of ways:

  • Lettuce: Spoon your salad into a romaine lettuce leaf.
  • Avocado: Spoon your shrimp into an avocado half.
  • Puff Pastry: Fill up cooked puff pastry shells with the salad.
  • Pasta: Add 8 ounces of cooked short pasta to make a pasta salad.

Can I make this Shrimp and Pineapple Salad ahead of time?

This salad is great freshly made, but it can last in the fridge for up to 3 days. This cannot be frozen, as the fresh veggies will not freeze well.
