What can you do with 20 minutes, a baking sheet, and a super hot broiler? You can make these quick and easy tacos. If you're using frozen shrimp, throw them in a resealable bag and sit them in a bowl of cool running water in the sink for 10-15 minutes to thaw. To get the right pineapple, choose one that's fragrant, feels a little heavy for its size, and gives slightly when pressed at the base.
