some kind of yogurt sause.


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.)

Queso Fresco for sure.

Oh and don't use flour tortillas. Corn with fish/shrimp is the way to go.
