In a bowl, combine all Shrimp Marinade ingredients. Mix well to coat the shrimp.
Marinate the shrimp for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Charred Pineapple Salsa: Grill or char the pineapple until slightly blackened. Dice and combine with red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. Set aside.
Prepare the Saffron Yogurt Sauce: Combine Greek yogurt, bloomed saffron threads (with water), lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
Warm the naan bread taco shells.
Assemble the tacos by filling each naan shell with cooked shrimp, charred pineapple salsa, and a generous drizzle of saffron yogurt sauce.
