Notes

  • This recipe is made with corn tortillas, which means it is gluten-free. You can, however substitute flour tortillas for a non-gluten free version.
  • To roll corn tortillas without them splitting, put the tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for one minute. Keep the warm tortillas covered as you work with them one at a time, reheating if necessary.
  • This recipe has cilantro, which can be replaced with parsley or left out if preferred.
  • Although this recipe includes cooked salad shrimp, you can replace them with uncooked, peeled shrimp. If they are large, chop them coarsely, and saute them along with the scallops.
  • You can use small bay scallops in place of the regular-sized scallops, and skip the chopping step.
