HOW TO MAKE IT
Light your fire and let it burn down for 1 hour until you have nice coals (or use hardwood charcoal).
Pat the shrimp dry, then gently toss in a large bowl with the garlic, salt, cumin, chilli
powder and 1/4 cup olive oil. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the pickled apple and onion, place all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside to pickle – about 10–15 minutes should be fine.
To make the avocado and cilantro sauce, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together well.
Transfer half the sauce to a bowl, add the cabbage and toss to combine.
When the coals are hot, place the shrimp on the grill in a single layer and cook, turning once, for 2–4 minutes (depending on their size) until they just turn pink. Transfer to a cutting board and cut off the tails.
Heat your tortillas and fill with the shrimp and cabbage mixture. Drizzle the remaining avocado and cilantro sauce over top. Serve with the pickled apple and onion, and lime wedges on the side.
