Method
 

For The Grilled Shrimp
  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
  2. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with all the spices: chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  3. Grill the shrimp for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until they turn opaque and form nice grill marks.
For The Mango Salsa
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  2. Drizzle with lime juice, olive oil, and agave nectar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine.
For the Chipotle Crema
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and chipotle salsa until well blended.
To Assemble
  1. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable.
  2. Place a few grilled shrimp on each tortilla, top with mango salsa, and drizzle with the chipotle crema. Serve immediately!

Notes

These tacos are best enjoyed warm, straight off the grill. For an appealing presentation, stack a few tacos on a plate, garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
