Cooking Tips

  • If you don't have chipotle powder, you can substitute with smoked paprika or chili powder for a similar smoky flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp seasoning.
  • Feel free to customize the avocado salsa by adding diced jalapenos or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra tanginess.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can use cabbage leaves instead of lettuce wraps for the tacos.

Storage and Serving

  • These tacos are best served immediately while the shrimp is still warm and the avocado salsa is fresh.
  • If you have any leftovers, store the shrimp and avocado salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • To reheat the shrimp, simply heat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
  • When ready to serve, assemble the tacos with fresh lettuce wraps and the reheated shrimp and avocado salsa.
