To make the Salsa:

- Set aside.
To make the Shrimp:
- Heat your bbq to a medium heat. Meanwhile, mix the rapeseed oil, chilli powder, salt, cayenne pepper, lime zest and shrimp in a large bowl.
- Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning. If you can, leave for at least 1 hour in the fridge to marinate.
- Using a piece of paper towel dipped in vegetable oil give your bbq a light rub just to grease it. Place the marinated shrimp on bbq and cook until just cooked, about 1 and a half minutes per side.
- Remove and cover to keep warm. Throw the tortillas on the bbq for about 20 seconds per side until warm and slightly charred.
- Serve family style with the avocado salsa in a bowl, warm tortillas, the grilled shrimps, sour cream, lime wedges and coriander leaves.
- Allow everyone to then build their own tacos. Happy barbecuing!
