Equipment Needed

Instructions
- 1
If you're opting for wooden skewers, immerse them in water for a minimum of 20 minutes, up to an hour, to prevent them from charring. (Alternatively, feel free to use an outdoor grill basket or an indoor grill pan instead of skewers).

For the pickled onions: In a small mixing bowl, blend the onion with the juice of 1 1/2 limes and a generous pinch of salt. Mix well and allow the ingredients to pickle while you work on the other components, giving it a stir from time to time.
- 3
For the peach salsa: In a separate small bowl, combine the diced peach, avocado, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, and the juice from the remaining half of the lime. Add a good amount of salt and mix thoroughly. Ensure the flavors are balanced, then set it aside.

Heat your grill, grill basket, or grill pan to a medium-high temperature and apply a light coating of oil.
- 5
Dry the shrimp with a paper towel and lightly spray them with oil. Season the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of tajin, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper. If using skewers, thread the shrimp onto double skewers, leaving enough space at the end for handling.

Place the shrimp on the preheated grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and become firm. Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a plate to cool while you grill the tortillas for about 1 minute on each side until they have a slight char.

To put it all together, slide the shrimp off the skewers and distribute them evenly among the tortillas. Top each taco with a generous scoop of salsa and a few pickled onions. Serve with lime wedges and additional pickled onions on the side.
