Fire up the grill for shrimp tacos

here is a recepie that i have used several times for grilled shrimp tacos:

Grilled Shrimp Tacos

1 pound extra-large shrimp
Salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 medium red onions, sliced
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 taco shells or 6-inch tortillas

Instructions:
Heat the grill to high. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper and cumin, then toss to coat evenly.

Divide the shrimp among 6 skewers, threading them evenly without crowding them on the skewers. Do the same for the onions. Now lightly oil the grill grates.

Grill the shrimp for 2 minutes per side and the onions for 5 minutes per side.

Chop the grilled red onions and place in a medium bowl. Stir in the celery, tomatoes, chipotle pepper and garlic.

Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, toss the avocado with the lime juice.
In another small bowl, stir together the sour cream and cilantro.

To serve, set the shrimp, red onion salsa, avocado and sour cream on the table with the taco shells or tortillas.
