Expert Tips

  • A nonstick skillet is great for many things, but it’s not great for searing shrimp. In fact, it tends to make them water out a bit. If possible, use a regular skillet for this shrimp taco bowl recipe.
  • To save a few minutes of prep time when making your shrimp taco bowls, look for bagged pre-shredded purple cabbage.
  • Hate chopping garlic? Leave it out and use chili garlic sauce instead of regular hot sauce.
