  2. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and toss in a small bowl with the shrimp taco spice mix. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through. 

  3.  For the easiest-to-eat and picture-perfect tacos, top your Casa Mendosa™ tortillas in this order - smashed avocado, slaw, and shrimp, Cotija cheese and garlic cilantro lime sauce. Enjoy!
