TIPS

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh, deveined shrimp work best for optimal flavour and texture.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp: They cook quickly and should be removed from heat as soon as they turn opaque.
  • Warm the tortillas properly: Heating them slightly makes them more pliable and enhances their flavour.
  • Enhance the flavour: Add a dash of smoked paprika or cumin to the shrimp before grilling.
  • Customize your toppings: Add diced tomatoes, onions or a dollop of Greek yoghurt for extra texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Version: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Extra Protein: Mix in black beans or grilled tofu for added nutrients.
  • Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle some crumbled feta or cotija cheese on top.
  • Citrus Kick: Use orange juice instead of lime juice for a slightly sweeter flavour.
  • Crunchy Addition: Add sliced radishes or cabbage for extra crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover grilled shrimp in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Cooked shrimp can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Prep all ingredients separately and assemble the tacos just before serving for a fresh taste.
