# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in under 30 minutes, which means weeknight dinner without the stress or takeout expense.
  • The grilled shrimp gets a charred, smoky edge that tastes restaurant-quality from your own kitchen.
  • Everything comes together warm and customizable, so everyone at the table can pile on exactly what they want.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd your grill—shrimp cook fast and need space to develop that char, not steam in their own moisture.
  • If your tortilla tears while rolling, don't panic; just lay a second one underneath and roll them together, or use that piece as a test wrap while you perfect the technique on the next one.
03 -
  • Pat your shrimp completely dry before seasoning—moisture is the enemy of a good char and that restaurant-quality sear.
  • Make the dressing up to 2 days ahead and store it in the fridge, which actually lets the flavors meld and deepen.
