Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have large shrimp, you can use medium shrimp. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• To make the tacos even spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp seasoning.
• If you don't have tortillas, you can use lettuce wraps instead.
• To make the tacos ahead of time, prepare all the ingredients and store them separately. Then, assemble the tacos just before serving.
