- Look for shrimp that have been peeled and de-veined to save time and effort.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Substitute the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative to mayonnaise as it is lower in calories and fat. It also provides a great source of protein, calcium and probiotics. This substitution can give the dish a creamy texture and a slightly tangy flavor.
- Substitute the taco seasoning mix for a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder: This combination of spices provides a more robust flavor than the taco seasoning mix. It also allows you to customize the amount of each spice to your liking. This substitution can give the dish a deeper, more complex flavor.
Vegetarian Variation Replace the prawns with 500 grams of firm tofu, cut into cubes and stir-fry in the vegetable oil until golden brown. Add the taco seasoning mix and stir to coat the tofu.
