FOR THE ROASTED JALAPENO CREMA:

3. Puree everything.

FOR THE ROASTED CORN SLAW:

4. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet to medium-high, add the corn, toss and let it sit cooking until charred, about 6-8 minutes, mix it up, let it char again and set aside.
5. Mix everything.

FOR THE TACOS:

6. Assemble the tacos with slaw on the bottom, topped with avocado, shrimp and a dollop of roasted jalapeno crema along with a garnish of cilantro.
