Recipe from www.pookiepantry.blogspot.com

Shrimp
2 chipotle in adobo, chopped
1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 lime, zest and juice
2-3 Tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
flour tortillas
Shredded lettuce or spinach 
avocado

Salsa
1 1/2 c. corn kernels
2 tsp. oil
1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1/2 c. diced bell pepper (any color combo)
1-2 chipotle pepper in adobo, chopped
6 Tbs. olive oil
3 Tbs. lime juice
2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt 
pinch of pepper 
pinch of cayenne pepper 
pinch of chili powder


Soak 6-8 wooden skewers in water for at least 1/2 hour (for skewering shrimp).

Combine first six ingredients. Whisk to combine. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes (I did about 4 hours).

To make the salsa, heat 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add corn kernels and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, whisk together oil, lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, and spices in a small bowl. Combine corn, mango, black beans, onion, and peppers in a large bowl. Toss with dressing. Chill until ready to eat.

To cook the shrimp, preheat grill. Skewer marinated shrimp and grill until cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.

To assemble, scoop some salsa into the flour tortilla. Top with 8-10 shrimp and shredded lettuce/spinach and avocado.
