Instructions

Step 1

Inn a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, oil, and salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat the shrimp. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, place them on the grill over a medium hot fire, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 2

Remove the shrimp from the fire and, as soon as they are cool enough to handle, slide off the skewers, chop into bite-sized pieces, and put into a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients except the tortillas. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Spread a couple of spoonfuls of the shrimp-cheese mixture into each of 8 tortillas. Place the remaining tortillas on top of the filling, then place these sandwiches on the grill over a low fire. You want to cook them until they are golden brown on both sides and the cheese has just melted, about 3 minutes. When they have reached this point, remove them from the grill, cut into quarters and serve with the Pickled Red Onions.
