  • 1 garlic chopped, clove
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped, jarred or homemade, whole roasted
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cumin ground

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Shrimp Tacos:

  • 1 pound Shrimp peeled and de-veined, raw, jumbo

  • 3 corn cob shucked and cleaned

  • 1 1/2 cups red grape halved, seedless
  • 2 avocado chopped
  • tortillas 16 corn or 8 wheat

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.

For the Ranchero Sauce:

  1. Add the oil to a sauce pan and place it over medium heat. Saute the onion, jalapeno, and garlic until soft--3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the red pepper, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, cumin, stock and 1/4 tsp salt. Simmer for 10 minutes on low.
  3. Remove from heat and carefully pour into a blender. Add the cream and place the lid on the blender--sightly jarred so it can vent. Puree the sauce until smooth, then set aside.

For the Shrimp Tacos:

  1. Sprinkle the raw shrimp with salt pepper and paprika. Place the corn and the shrimp on the grill. Grill the shrimp for 2 minutes per side, until just pink. Grill the corn for 2 minutes per side, rotating to get char marks on all sides. When the corn has cooled a little, cut it off the cobs.
  2. Warm the tortillas in the microwave. Place a bed of cabbage on the bottom of a tortilla, followed by 3-4 shrimp, corn, grapes and avocado. Drizzle with ranchero sauce and serve.
