    Marinade
    1 1/2 tbsp minced red onion
    1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
    1 tbsp honey
    1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
    1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
    1/2 tsp Jamaican jerk or Cajun seasoning
    1/8 tsp paprika
    16 shrimp, shelled, deveined, tails removed
    Corn relish
    2 ears corn (or 1 cup canned or frozen and thawed)

    6 Roma tomatoes, diced
    1 green onion, chopped
    Lime- or lemon-pepper seasoning

    Tacos
    4 lowfat whole-wheat tortillas
    1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
    1 green onion, chopped

    Recipe



    Combine marinade ingredients with 1/4 cup water and season with salt. Add shrimp; refrigerate 1 hour. To make relish, cut corn kernels off cob. Lightly spray a sturdy skillet with cooking spray and heat over moderately high heat. (Avoid Teflon pans, which should not be used when cooking at such high temperatures.) Stir-fry corn until golden brown. Pour corn into a bowl and add remaining relish ingredients; season with salt. Remove shrimp and reserve marinade. Lightly spray the same skillet with cooking spray and heat on high until very hot. Toss in a few shrimp at a time and cook until just opaque; remove shrimp. Pour marinade into pan, bring to boil and boil for 2 minutes; lower heat and simmer until thick. Put 4 shrimp on each tortilla; top with corn relish and marinade sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onion.
