Blackened Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Corn and Chipotle Creme Fraiche

Love me some shrimp.  This is slam dunk delish and super easy.  If you’re doing low carb, opt for a lettuce wrap or use a cabbage leaf for your “taco.”  The chipotle creme fraiche packs so much flavor, combined with the spicy kick of the shrimp.  Did I mention I love me some shrimp??  Almost as much as Bubba!
