Notes
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook shrimp on the stove in a pan. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through
- To make the tortillas eaiser to fold, you can warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds before using them
- Don't overcook the shrimp, as they can be tough and rubbery. Aim for just a few minutes
