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.
