Notes
🦐 Use peeled and deveined frozen shrimp for convenience; thaw properly and handle jalapeños carefully to avoid irritation.
🥑 Avoid overmixing the salsa to keep avocado fresh; prepare in advance and cover directly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
🔥 Season shrimp a day ahead for better flavor and thread shrimp on soaked skewers to ease grilling and prevent burning.
🌶️ Adjust spiciness with jalapeños, sriracha, and cayenne to your preference.
🌮 Try variations like cotija cheese, hot sauce, guacamole, or use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for variety.
