Directions
  1. Place the cole slaw mix, pineapple and shallot in a large bowl.

  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage-pineapple mix, and toss to coat.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  5. Make the shrimp:
  6. Place the shrimp in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, mix together the cilantro, olive oil, brown sugar, cumin, chipotle powder, lime juice and lime zest.
  7. Pour over the shrimp. Toss to coat.
  8. Pour the marinade over the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes, turning the shrimp over halfway through.
  9. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, wait until it’s hot, then add the shrimp. Cook until pink and opaque on the bottom (about 2 to 4 minutes), then flip and cook until the second side is pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.
