  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest, half the cilantro and 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice. Season with salt and pepper
  • Peel, then cut shallot into 1/8-inch slices.
  • In another small bowl, combine remaining lime juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and salt. Add shallots, then mix to combine.
Make foil pouch and prep tortillas
3
  • To a medium bowl, add corn, peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with half the Mexican Seasoning, salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Arrange veggie mixture on one side of a 18x12-inch piece of foil. Fold foil in half over veggie mixture and pinch edges to seal pouch. Set aside. (NOTE: Make 2 pouches for 4 servings.) 
  • Wrap tortillas in foil.
Prep shrimp

  • Using a strainer, rinse shrimp. Pat dry with paper towels. Season with remaining Mexican Seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Drain skewers, then divide and thread shrimp evenly onto skewers. Place assembled skewers on a plate to bring to the grill.
  • Bring foil pouch vegies, tortillas, shrimp skewers and a clean plate to the grill.

  • Place foil pouch veggies on one side of the grill. Close lid and grill 12-14 min, until tender. Remove to plate.
  • Meanwhile, place the tortilla packet on the grill next to the foil pouch. Close lid and grill 5-6 min, flipping once, until warmed through. 
  • Add shrimp skewers to the grill. Close lid and grill for 1-3 min per side, until opaque.**
  • Remove shrimp skewers to the clean plate.

  • Divide tortillas between plates. Top with veggies.
  • Top with shrimp and pickled shallots.
  • Drizzle with crema.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.

  • Flavor: Some found the tacos lacking in flavour; consider adding extra spices or a smoky element for more depth.
  • Ease of prep: Threading shrimp onto skewers can be time-consuming; be prepared for this step.
  • Suggestions: Add more toppings like lettuce or extra corn to fill out the tacos for a heartier meal.
  • Portions: Several reviewers mentioned the tacos seemed empty; consider increasing the filling or adding extra vegetables.
