- 3 Tablespoons Maille Horseradish Mustard, divided use
- 1/2 pound ready to eat shrimp, (41/50 count)

- Mix the chipotle-raspberry marinade & dip with 2 Tablespoons Maille Horseradish Mustard and put into a small bowl.
- Cut the shrimp into 3 pieces each and add to the bowl along with the pineapple, cabbage, avocado, scallions, almonds and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix, cover and chill for a minimum of 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, mix the Mexican crema with 1 Tablespoon Maille Horseradish Mustard and 1 tablespoon reserved pineapple juice. Cover and chill until needed.

Cook’s notes
These spicy & colorful appetizers can be made ahead early in the day. They're served cold and go great with sparkling wine!I cut down corn tortillas for this recipe, but if you can find mini tortilla shells instead, these will be all the easier to make!
Double the recipe for a larger crowd, and plan on 3 tacos per person.
