Mix marinade. Peel and devein shrimp. Marinate shrimp 1/2 hour.
Roast corn and peppers under broiler. When black and bubbled, put in ice water. Remove skin and chop. Slice corn from cob. Mix all salad ingredients.
For vinaigrette, blend ingredients in processor (except avocado). Add avocado. Pulse just until blended - too much will make it turn oily. Remove shrimp from marinade and grill (or saute). Add hot shrimp to roasted mixture. Toss with 1/2 c. avocado vinaigrette. Dip rims of margarita glasses in lime juice and then into minced cilantro. Spool salad into glass. Garnish with baked tortilla strips, lime slice, and cilantro.

One time this was served was for Christine's college graduation party at Joyce and Mike's house. We did not serve in glasses... just from a bowl.
