</i><br /><br />1 pound of shrimp, peeled, tails removed<br />2 tablespoons of baja/mexican/taco spice (you can use any brand - there are a lot!)<i> </i> <br />1 tablespoon of oil (olive, veg, etc.)<br /><br />12 white corn tortillas<br />2 avocados<br />1 tomato<br />5 green onions <br />2 cups of pepper jack cheese<br /><br />Toss the shrimp in baja/mexican/taco seasoning.  You can cook them outside on the grill (you may want to skewer them to make it easier) or inside in a grill pan or in a skillet.  Cook shrimp on high for 1 minute on each side.  Set aside in a serving bowl.<br /><br />To prepare the tortillas, wrap them (all together) in a damp kitchen towel and place them in a warm oven on a baking sheet for 5-8 minutes or microwave for 1 minute.  <br /><br />To make the assembling easy for your guests, I like to put all of the toppings on one platter.  It makes a very easy clean up - only one platter to wash vs. individual bowls for each topping.  <br /><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/shrimp-tacos-avocado-black-bean-salad.html">Get all of the Recipes for the Festive Friday Night Mexican Party>></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/avocado-sweet-corn-and-black-bean-salad.html">Avocado Salad Recipe >></a><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/shrimp-tacos-with-avocado-and-white.html">Shrimp Taco Recipe >></a><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/red-pepper-margaritas-mexican-favorites.html">Red Pepper Margarita Recipe >></a><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjnrVVGRy9GPVULPuNuagE-rowMbRDInzTXY2yPfKU5nFC0k8yhDXtUNgPbJ7xB9BVAwVdo8CMzJOSFUkK7T_x3geSAfvtnSf_H5s_hIS0FqHUjxvgo7F-biffWO-8XOsOjDCB2eXCQt0a/s1600/IMG_5913.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjnrVVGRy9GPVULPuNuagE-rowMbRDInzTXY2yPfKU5nFC0k8yhDXtUNgPbJ7xB9BVAwVdo8CMzJOSFUkK7T_x3geSAfvtnSf_H5s_hIS0FqHUjxvgo7F-biffWO-8XOsOjDCB2eXCQt0a/s320/IMG_5913.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/avocado-sweet-corn-and-black-bean-salad.html">Avocado Salad Recipe >></a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXlu4N3_nx93golkQlB3aGkSy_LiFL7-biCrn2Un6ESGX8VeChfkPp5es4qKbIXszCs6lWqz8yqkC5Jjb7j1DEhtPug5zVpsH0TbN70aJXrzB1rdzViE5w7TMiHruM4jzS4_xOFzRWzai/s1600/IMG_6215.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXlu4N3_nx93golkQlB3aGkSy_LiFL7-biCrn2Un6ESGX8VeChfkPp5es4qKbIXszCs6lWqz8yqkC5Jjb7j1DEhtPug5zVpsH0TbN70aJXrzB1rdzViE5w7TMiHruM4jzS4_xOFzRWzai/s320/IMG_6215.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/red-pepper-margaritas-mexican-favorites.html">Red Pepper Margarita Recipe >></a></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOZZqRKlXuEz8nYwBxtx9sMWy5HNw_NuAGFPhNA69PrpujcBVfFpLhR67SodxlkgPtJWt2aPe63Vl__b2IHl1P_vA9UQVOMsWOqHW8Dq7DviM-BD-GaBsRkm4EgwXlzHSs9Imo4akcs0-/s1600/IMG_5520.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOZZqRKlXuEz8nYwBxtx9sMWy5HNw_NuAGFPhNA69PrpujcBVfFpLhR67SodxlkgPtJWt2aPe63Vl__b2IHl1P_vA9UQVOMsWOqHW8Dq7DviM-BD-GaBsRkm4EgwXlzHSs9Imo4akcs0-/s320/IMG_5520.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/shrimp-tacos-with-avocado-and-white.html">Shrimp Taco Recipe >></a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOZZqRKlXuEz8nYwBxtx9sMWy5HNw_NuAGFPhNA69PrpujcBVfFpLhR67SodxlkgPtJWt2aPe63Vl__b2IHl1P_vA9UQVOMsWOqHW8Dq7DviM-BD-GaBsRkm4EgwXlzHSs9Imo4akcs0-/s1600/IMG_5520.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>
