This is by far one of my favorite recipes that I've come across! Since discovering it and kind of tweaking it, my parents (who I'm staying with for about another week) and I have had it at least 3-4times. Summer is coming up, so try it now and eat it all summer long!

  • 1/2tsp Sea Salt
  • 1tsp Olive Oil
Directions
  • Heat olive oil in a saute or grill pan to a medium or high heat. Toss in corn, black beans, poblano chile, and onions. You want these items to have a nice char to them so let them get nice and toasty. It should take about 5 minutes, toss occasionally as needed

  • Once cooled, place into a bowl and add in: chopped avocado, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and sea salt. Mix well and set aside. 
  • Wash and de-vein (if necessary) Shrimp. Grill on medium heat until pink. About 2 minutes each side. While cooking, about a minute in, squirt a little bit of lime juice over shrimp (1/2 lime each side). Be careful to not step away for too long as shrimp cook FAST!
  • When done, place about 2oz shrimp on a tortilla and top with salsa! 
  • ENJOY!
