Cooking Tips

• If you prefer a spicier slaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the dressing.
• You can use corn or flour tortillas for these shrimp tacos, depending on your preference.
• For a lighter option, you can also serve the shrimp and slaw over a bed of lettuce instead of in tortillas.

Storage and Serving

• These shrimp tacos are best served immediately after assembling to maintain the crispness of the slaw and the tenderness of the shrimp.
• If you have leftovers, store the shrimp and slaw separately in the refrigerator.
• To reheat, warm the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat and refresh the slaw with a squeeze of lime juice.
• Assemble the tacos just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
