Steps:
- Combine marinade ingredients with 1/4 cup water and season with salt. Add shrimp; refrigerate 1 hour. To make relish, cut corn kernels off cob.

Stir-fry corn until golden brown. Pour corn into a bowl and add remaining relish ingredients; season with salt. Remove shrimp and reserve marinade. Lightly spray the same skillet with cooking spray and heat on high until very hot. Toss in a few shrimp at a time and cook until just opaque; remove shrimp.

SHRIMP SOFT TACOS
Steps:
- 1. Cook shrimp (steam, boil or grill), peel, chop and set aside. You can use precooked shrimp for speedier tacos 2. Heat two skillets to medium/high 3. Chop lettuce & mix in cilantro, put in a bowl, set aside 4. Cut avocado in half, remove pit, scoop out both side of avocado and slice longwise, set aside 5. Place 1 tortilla in each skillet, heat for about thirty seconds, then flip and heat for 30 more seconds 6. Remove tortilla 7. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of sour cream on tortilla 8. For each taco, add a bit of the taco fillings-- Shrimp, lettuce/cilantro mixture, onion, avocado slices (about two per taco) and cheese in the middle of each tortilla. Top with salsa to your liking (about 2 tablespoons per taco). Be careful not to add too much on each tortilla or you won't be able to roll it. 9. Roll tortilla keeping one end closed, serve with extra salsa. The closed end of the taco will keep the ingredients from falling out. 10. Repeat steps 1-9 with the remaining ingredients until they're finished. Depending on the size of the tortilla and amount you put inside each taco you will get about 4 servings. 1 Taco = 1 serving per person.
Tips:
- To devein shrimp easily, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Then, use your fingers to pull out the vein.
- To make the shrimp tacos more flavorful, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- To make the soft tacos, use fresh corn tortillas and warm them up in a skillet or on a griddle until they are pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a few shrimp, some cabbage, tomatoes, and avocados in a tortilla. Drizzle with salsa and sour cream, then fold in half and enjoy!
