Shrimp Tacos and Avocado Sauce

Don't let the word Tacos fool you, this is as far from Mexican as it gets. But I like to take the word Taco as liberally as everybody else takes the word Sandwich. A taco is basically any type of deliciousness enclosed in a tortilla or similar flatbread, regardless of composition. This is where the beauty of the taco lays, the possibilities. So, even if you are a Taco Purist that only consumes authentic "al Pastor" tacos made on a street cart, or you are as liberal as I am, if you give this a chance, you are gonna love it. Get your ass to the kitchen for a few minutes and get this "Shrimp and Pineapple Tacos with Avocado Sauce" going, you won't regret it. 

A sexy taco.

You will need:

• Shrimp: Any type of shrimp or prawn. Peel them and remove the intestines.
• Onion: Half a medium sized onion, sliced
• Garlic: One clove thinly sliced.
• Salt and Pepper: Duh!
• Pineapple: A few slices cut into chunks.
• Avocado: 1 ripe and delicious avocado.
• Greek Yoghurt: About a cup should be enough.
• Lemon: 1 medium sized lemon, or lime.
• Lettuce: Enough for serving.
• Tortillas: This time I'm using 8 flour tortillas, but you can use whatever.
