Tips & Tricks

Use Fresh Shrimp: Opt for fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen, thaw them completely and pat dry before cooking.

Get a Perfect Sear: Cook shrimp over medium-high heat for a quick sear, about 2 minutes per side, to keep them juicy and prevent overcooking.

Adjust the Heat: Control the spice level by adding more or less sriracha, red pepper flakes, or jalapeños.

Crispy Tortillas: Lightly toast tortillas on a dry skillet or open flame for extra flavor and texture.

Balance the Flavors: A squeeze of fresh lime juice and a drizzle of creamy sauce (like chipotle mayo or sour cream) enhance the sweet and spicy balance.

Make it a Bowl: Skip the tortillas and serve the shrimp over rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a low-carb option.
