Notes

  • For a spicier taco, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp seasoning.
  • You can grill the shrimp instead of sautéing for a smoky flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite taco toppings like diced tomatoes, onions, or jalapeños.
  • Consider this a great alternative to some meal delivery services for a fresh, home-cooked meal.
