Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Dry Your Shrimp Thoroughly 💧
    Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before cooking to achieve a perfect golden sear and prevent them from steaming in their own moisture.
  • Toast Your Spice Blend First 🌶️
    Bloom the Taco & Fajita Spice in the hot oil for 30 seconds before adding shrimp to unlock deeper, more complex flavor notes in every bite.
  • Prep Your Vegetables Uniformly ✂️
    Cut bell peppers and onions into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and finish at the same time as your shrimp for perfectly balanced timing.
  • Make Avocado Crema Just Before Serving 🥑
    Prepare your avocado crema within 15 minutes of serving and cover it directly with plastic wrap to prevent oxidation and browning of the avocado.
  • Use Butter Lettuce Cups as Your Foundation 🥬
    Chill your lettuce leaves before assembly and layer 2-3 leaves together for structural integrity so your tacos hold up during eating without falling apart.
