Notes
- Season the shrimp with fajita, blackened, creole, or cajun seasoning if you don’t have taco seasoning on hand.
- Like a little spice? Add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne powder to the seasoning.
- Store any leftover grilled shrimp salad in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Do not reheat the shrimp. It’s best to eat any leftovers cold so the shrimp doesn’t become rubbery.
