Keep this recipe gluten free by using cabbage or lettuce as a wrap for grilled shrimp in a delightfully fruity, slightly spicy glaze. If you don’t follow a gluten free diet, this recipe would be terrific with regular yellow corn taco shells.
Serves 4

Fill pot half full with water, bring to a boil and cook over a boil for 6 – 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. *Make sure not to over cook or you’ll have to use a fork instead of your clean fingers.
