What makes these tacos so irresistible? It's all about the combination of tender shrimp simmered in a vibrant tomato-based sauce, infused with aromatic toasted cumin, garlic, and a hint of jalapeno heat. The fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous note that perfectly complements the savory shrimp filling.

The secret to the "crispy" lies in the shallow frying of the rolled tortillas. Dipping them briefly in hot oil before filling them makes them pliable and easier to roll. Then, a quick fry in the hot oil transforms them into golden, crunchy shells, offering a delightful textural contrast to the soft and flavorful shrimp filling.
