Shrimp Tacos with Peach Chipotle Salsa

This fresh and flavorful dinner is one of our family summer and early fall favorites! It is light and healthy and very quick and easy to prepare. The marinade and shrimp can be prepared a day ahead of time and refrigerated. This time of year sweet, fragrant peaches are plentiful. Our first choice is from fresh from our local farmers market. The Peach Chipotle Salsa can also be served with chips as an appetizer or as a sweet salsa on top of grilled halibut, cod, or seabass. For variety we also top the tacos with our crunchy asian slaw.
