Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each one is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the fruit salsa. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and 2 tbsp lime juice. Mix well and season with 0.25 tsp salt. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter and allow them to rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the shrimp warm, accompanied by the tropical fruit salsa on the side or spooned on top.
Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and enjoy!
