Notes

If shrimp isn’t your preference, consider using halal-friendly chicken or tofu as a substitute. Keep an eye on the shrimp while cooking to avoid overcooking. Customize with your favorite toppings like diced tomatoes or sliced jalapeños for heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
