Went fishing in Florida a few weeks back and brought a bunch of fish and shrimp home, so I thought I'd grill some fish for tacos tonight. The fam wanted shrimp so I was happy to cook some for them.

Finally got a new camera so hopefully these pics come out good.

It finally stopped raining for longer than ten minutes and it has been a while since I cooked anything outside. Good to be grilling again!

Marinated some cobia fillets for 30 minutes in some olive oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, cilantro salt & pepper. Skewered the shrimp and seasoned them with Weber's Mango Lime Seafood seasoning and Florida Sunshine sea salt with citrus.

Marinating fish.

Grilled the shrimp direct over Royal Oak briquettes for a few minutes, then moved 'em to the CI skillet to be glazed with ginger teriyaki sauce.

Added the fish for just a few minutes on each side.

Good lookin' shrimp!

Wanted to set the sauce a little so I put them back over the coals for a minute or two before going inside.

Plated in some tortillas with some fish taco sauce, tomatillo salsa, red salsa & cilantro. The recipe I found called for Mexican sour cream & chipotle peppers in adobo, so I thought I'd give them a try. Both of these ingredients made dinner even better!

If I had only made this last weekend, I could have entered the Iron Chef competition!

Thanks for the kind words everybody!

@ S Sherrod - don't mind sharing at all.

Here's the recipe. It can be doubled if you are feeding a crowd.

1/2 C. Mexican sour cream
1 lime, cut in half
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground chili powder
1-2 chipotles in adobo, with a little juice from the can, crushed. (I found a can of these already crushed up in adobo - easier to spoon into the sauce mix)
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

-Mix in the juice of half a lime to get sour cream consistency thinner. Add more lime juice to suit your taste.

-Add remaining spices and blend thoroughly, using whisk or spoon.

-Refrigerate to let flavors marry. 30 mins. to an hour should be enough.
