- Step 6: Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Step 7: Assemble the tacos by spreading guacamole on each tortilla, topping with cooked shrimp, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Tips & Variations
- For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the shrimp seasoning.
- You can substitute Old Bay with taco seasoning if preferred.
- Use flour tortillas if you want a softer, thicker wrap.
- Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- For a creamier guacamole, stir in a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Storage
Store leftover shrimp and guacamole separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat shrimp, warm gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh but can be covered tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
