What exactly are you thinking here? Sounds funky with shrimp.

I would do some kind of corn puree as a sauce instead. That along with the pico would be a solid play.

Here's a recipe I've done before to go with pan-fried fish.

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh corn kernels
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tblsp sour cream
1/2 tsp cayenne

Heat butter over medium-high heat, then add the corn, lemon juice, salt and pepper, to taste, and the sugar, Stir together and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and allow it to come to a hard boil. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add the corn mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a medium-sized bowl and stir in the sour cream. (I like the consistency a little on the chunky side. Be meticulous with the blender and get it to your liking.)

below is the recipe i use for fish tacos. i tried it with shrimp last week and it worked really well. if you have a mandolin, this recipe gives it a great workout. the first time you do it, you need a little time figure out how all the pieces fit together, but i routinely do this on weeknights now.

i do make the following changes:
-for the marinade for the fish/shrimp, i add some chipotle chili powder
- instead of the mayo/milk/lime juice mixture, i use greek yogurt/lime juice/chili powder/cumin. it's nice.
- agree about corn tortillas

fish tacos

Skip the cilantro it is a too dominant flavor for shrimp. Red onion/vidalia onion diced, diced avocado, diced mango, same on some tomato, season with a raspberry vinagrette very lightly, all ingrediates cool except for the shrimp. Two whole minutes in the saute pan, and mix and serve PRONTO.

If you want to do this, I would suggest some greek yogurt (Fage 2%) mixed with Siracha thai chili sauce.

Take sour cream and add the following

sauteed poblano peppers (1 pepper per 16 oz of sour cream)Remember to let them cool.

once folded together add cilantro and chopped fresh jalapenos salt and pepper to taste.

This spread is is the tits on most any tacos and sandwiches.
