CHEESY SHRIMP AND CORN TACOS
This was a recommendation for a taco from Diana Sturgis in the Rachael Ray Magazine this month. They didn't give any amounts for ingredients, so I just made the recipe and came up with my own :) Feel free to make these burrito style with flour tortillas and simply top them with salsa.

Steps:
- Remove the husk and silk from your ear of corn, wash it off, wrap it in a paper towel and cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes, then cut the kernels off the cob and set aside.
- In the meanwhile, saute the onion in about 1 tsp of olive oil (or butter if you'd rather) for about 3 minutes on med-high until opaque. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and shrimp, stir, cook for 30 seconds, cover and turn over the heat (so that the shrimp warm up, but don't overcook).
- On each tortilla, spread 1/8 of the goat cheese, top with 1/8 of the shrimp, sprinkle with some corn kernels, top with a little cabbage and spoon about 1 tsp of salsa over the cabbage.
- Serve with more salsa on the side.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes shrimp, corn, and cheese.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your tacos. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso fresco.
- Serve Immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the tortillas are crispy and the filling is hot and gooey.
