Bobby Flay Shrimp Tacos Recipe
Bobby Flay's shrimp tacos recipe brings out incredible flavors by using a blend of lime zest, brown sugar, chili, cumin, and paprika.The combo of savory grilled shrimp, accompanied by a creamy slaw and buttery salsa, creates a to-die-for balance of textures and flavors.To really make the flavors pop, I suggest letting the shrimp marinate for about ten minutes before grilling–it's a simple step with big impact!And remember to watch your heat while cooking the shrimp. You want a good sear but burn the spices!
