# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The shrimp gets this beautiful char while staying tender inside, and nobody has to know you made dinner in under half an hour.
  • You get to skip the heavy feel of a big meal and still walk away completely satisfied because of all that crisp lettuce and creamy dressing.
  • These wraps are endlessly customizable, so you can build them exactly how you want without any judgment.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd your grill or the shrimp will steam instead of sear, so give them actual space to touch the hot surface and develop those caramelized edges.
  • Warm your tortillas even if it seems unnecessary because a cold tortilla will crack, but a warm one rolls like a dream and tastes somehow better too.
03 -
  • Buy your shrimp from a fishmonger if you can because they'll help you pick the best ones and they taste noticeably fresher than frozen thawed shrimp from the supermarket.
  • Pat your grilled shrimp dry with a paper towel before tossing them with the spice mixture so the oil and seasonings actually stick instead of sliding right off.
