I didn't have any fresh spinach, so I used frozen spinach instead. It worked out great! The tacos were still delicious and nutritious.

I used a different type of salsa than the one in the recipe. The tacos were still delicious! I think you could use any type of salsa you like.

I made these tacos in a skillet instead of a griddle. They turned out great! The tortillas were still crispy and the filling was cooked perfectly.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of shrimp. The tacos were still delicious! I would definitely recommend this recipe to other vegetarians.

I didn't have any ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It worked out great! The tacos were still delicious and creamy.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time. Otherwise, they were easy to make and the tortillas were delicious.

These tacos were easy to make and so flavorful! I used a pre-made taco seasoning packet to save time, and they still turned out great. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I loved these tacos! The ricotta cheese and spinach really balanced out the flavor of the shrimp. I'll definitely be making these again.
