Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tacos.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and texture to your tacos. Some good options include: cabbage, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Make sure your tortillas are warm. This will help them to hold together and prevent them from breaking.
Serve your tacos immediately. This is when they will be at their best.
