Steps:
- Make the Salsa: Put the shallot, jalapeño pepper, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until finely chopped (a mini food processor is best, but large will work too) Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the chopped tomatoes, avocado, salt, lime juice, and cilantro to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside. (If not using right away, see the make-ahead instructions below.)
- Make the Shrimp: Heat the grill to medium. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and shrimp. Mix until the shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning. Grease the grill with a wad of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil or non-flammable cooking spray. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook, covered, until just opaque, 1½ to 2 minutes per side. Place the shrimp on a serving platter and cover to keep warm. (I use large shrimp for this recipe so that they don't fall through the grates. If you're worried your shrimp will slip through, you can always thread them on skewers or cook them indoors in a skillet on medium heat.)
- Grill the tortillas until warm and slightly charred, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, heat the tortillas in the microwave according to the package instructions.)
- Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the avocado salsa, 3 shrimp, and some red cabbage; pass the lime wedges and sour cream at the table. Alternatively, set the warm tortillas, grilled shrimp, avocado salsa, and fixings on the table for everyone to assemble their own tacos.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: The avocado salsa can be made up to 8 hours ahead of time; place a piece of saran wrap inside the bowl and directly over the mixture to prevent discoloration and refrigerate. The shrimp can be tossed with the oil and seasoning, covered, and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead of time.

SHRIMP TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
These super easy, healthy tacos are completely delicious. (This is an adaptation of a recipe by Layla for Gimme Delicious.) The calorie count in this recipe is based on a regular flour tortilla, but if you want to cut out 100 calories per taco, try using low-carb, high fiber, low calorie tortillas. I love the "Ole Mexican Xtreme Wellness" tortillas that you can find at Walmart. They taste great. You can also substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream to reduce the fat. Enjoy!

Steps:
- To cook the shrimp: In a medium bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili and onion powders, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add in shrimp, corn and black beans, and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours. Heat a large heavy-duty or cast iron skillet on high heat for 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and shrimp. Cook shrimp in a skillet over medium-high heat until pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and finish with a squeeze of lime (optional).
- To make salsa: Combine tomato, avocado, jalapeno, salt, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside. (If not using right away, place a piece of plastic wrap inside the bowl and directly over salsa to prevent discoloration and refrigerate.).
- To make sauce: Stir sour cream with cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside.
- To assemble tacos: Grill tortillas on stovetop over the flame until lightly charred (this step is optional). Spoon avocado salsa generously over warm tortillas, then top with 3 shrimp and drizzle with sour cream sauce. Serve tacos with lime wedges on the side.

Steps:
- Heat grill up to medium high.
- Brush corn, green onions and poblano chile with olive oil and place on grill. Grill until nicely charred. The poblano should be black. This will take about five minutes, flipping occasionally with tongs.
- When done, remove veggies from grill and let cool on a plate. When cool, peel the now black skin off the pepper, remove the seeds and chop into small dice. Run your knife down the corn to remove the kernels from the cob and place into a bowl with the pepper. Chop onion and place into bowl as well.
- Add chopped avocado, cherry tomatoes and cilantro to the bowl and add lime juice and salt. Season to taste and set aside.
- Grill the seasoned shrimp for only a few minutes until pink, being careful because shrimp cook extremely fast. When done, place shrimp into tortillas, top with salsa and eat immediately.
