Add the shredded cabbage, fire roasted corn and creamy base into a large bowl. Add chopped cilantro and queso fresco and mix everything together.
Devein the shrimp. If frozen, make sure they are thawed out before seasoning.
Drizzle the raw shrimp with olive oil and season with Taco seasoning.
Cook the shrimp on the griddle over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, until they get a nice golden crust.
Warm up some tortilla's over the hot griddle.
Load up each tortilla with a layer of the roasted corn slaw, top with 2–3 shrimp, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and dig in! Enjoy!

Notes

A great alternative and time saver if you are really in a pinch for time is using frozen or canned charred corn. Easy and simple and you still get to enjoy those delicious flavors

For a more convenience option, you can use a coleslaw mix. No shredded, slicing needed.

Any hot sauce is a great alternative to the chipotle in adobo sauce.
