- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality tortilla: The tortilla is an important part of the taco, so it's worth it to invest in a good quality one. Look for tortillas that are soft and pliable.
- Load up the tacos with toppings: The toppings are what really make these tacos special. Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings, such as avocado, salsa, sour cream, or cheese.
