- 1 Tablespoon fresh oregano chopped

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shrimp, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, fresh oregano, salt and pepper. Let marinate while you prepare the salsa.
- Preheat grill to 400F. Cut onion in to four wedges and toss with olive oil. Brush a little olive oil on the corn. Grill onion and corn for about 10 minutes or until slightly charred and the onion is soft.
- Remove from heat and place on a cutting board. Cut kernels off the corn and roughly chop grilled onion.
- In a medium bowl, combine corn, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalepeno, lime, salt and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Stir until well combined. Set aside to marinate while you grill the shrimp.
- Lightly grill the corn tortillas on each side, then wrap them in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Place a grill basket over the heat, and add the shrimp. Quickly grill them, turning once, about 2 minutes per side or until they are bright pink.
To Assemble
- Serve warm tortillas, grilled shrimp, corn salsa, avocado, feta cheese and cilantro garnish and assemble tacos at the table.
