Recipe FAQs
- → How spicy are chipotle lime shrimp tacos?
- The level of heat depends on the amount of chipotle powder used. For mild flavor, start with less, and add more for extra heat.
- → Can I use frozen shrimp?
- Yes, thaw shrimp completely and pat dry before marinating to ensure the best texture and flavor absorption.
- → What toppings pair well?
- Crisp lettuce or cabbage, pico de gallo, crumbled cheese, cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, or avocado slices enhance freshness and richness.
- → Flour or corn tortillas?
- Both work well! Corn tortillas provide authentic flavor, while flour tortillas offer a softer bite. Choose your preference.
