Steps:
- Salsa: Heat corn in a dry large nonstick skillet over high heat and cook, tossing corn frequently, 4 minutes or until lightly charred in spots. Add tomatoes and onions; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Keep salsa warm.
- Tacos: Stack tortillas and warp in damp paper towels. Place in microwave.
- Heat oil, garlic, and cumin in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, salt, pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes, tossing several times until shrimp are firm and cooked through; remove from heat and toss with lime juice.
- While shrimp cook, steam tortillas in microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until softened. Fill each tortilla with 6 or 7 shrimp and top with warm corn salsa and diced avocados.
- Note: If you have difficulty finding the can of fire roasted tomatoes, I have substituted that for a can of regular tomatoes and added seeded, diced jalapeños and a small can of chipotle peppers.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp are very easy to overcook, so it's important to cook them quickly over high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
- Make the warm corn salsa ahead of time. The salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Use a good quality tortilla. Fresh, corn or flour, makes a big difference in the flavor of the tacos.
- Don't overload the tacos. Too many toppings can make the tacos difficult to eat. Stick to a few simple toppings, such as the warm corn salsa, cabbage, and cilantro.
