“Deveined shrimp is more than for appearance ! First it’s not a vein. It’s the intestinal track. Shrimp are scavengers that feed on the bottom of the sea, eating all the carcinogenic waste in today’s waters. You don’t want to consume what is left in the intest” — a cook, 5.0★
“This is really bland. It needs more spices. If I made it again, I'd soak the tortillas in green enchilada sauce and add a lot more cumin and chili powder. I used avacado hot sauce as well.” — a cook, 2.0★
