How to make it

Whisk together 1/2 c. lime juice, 1 T. oil, and chili powder for the tacos. Add shrimp and chill until ready to skewer.
Preheat one side of the grill to medium-high and the other side to medium-low.
Whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle's, honey, and 1 t. lime juice for the sauce. Season with salt and chill until ready to serve, or up to 1 hour. See Photo
Combine cabbage, scallions, cilantro, 1 T. oil, and vinegar for the slaw. Season with salt and chill until ready to serve, or up to 1 hour.
Wrap tortillas in foil. Thread shrimp onto 4 metal or soaked bamboo skewers. See Photo
Grill foil-wrapped tortillas, covered, over medium-low heat, 3-4 minutes. Flip and grill 3-4 minutes more. Grill shrimp skewers, covered, over medium-high heat, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove tortillas and skewers from the grill.
To serve, divide slaw and shrimp among 8 tortillas; drizzle with sauce See Photo. I also added Tequila refried beans to the base of the tortilla before adding fillings. Recipe is posted.
