Zesty Grilled Shrimp Tacos with South of the Border Corn and Cotija Salsa.
Technically this taco really isn't a fruit salsa, it's a cheese salsa (oh my gosh, yes!!), BUT I of course just had to add some summer fruit, so I threw in some watermelon.

4 servings
Instructions
- Add the shrimp to a bowl. Add the olive oil, juice + zest of 1 lemon, juice + zest of 1 lime, garlic, smoked paprika, chipotle chile powder, cumin and salt. Toss well and let the shrimp sit for 15-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa. In a bowl, combine the cotija cheese, corn, jalapeno, basil, cilantro and lime juice. Toss to combine. Gently stir in the diced avocado. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Thread the shrimp on skewers if using an outdoor grill (or use a grilling basket). Once hot, grill the shrimp for 3-4 minutes per side or until light char marks appear. I like to brush some of the marinade left in the bowl over the shrimp when I first put the shrimp on. Once done cooking, remove the shrimp from the grill and if desired squeeze with a little lemon and lime juice. Sprinkle with basil + cilantro.
- To serve, spread a little quinoa or rice inside each warmed tortilla. Add the watermelon and shrimp. Top with salad and garnish with cilantro. Eat!
