For an extra smoky flavor, grill the bell peppers and onions instead of sautéing them. To prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery, don't overcook them. They should be pink and slightly firm. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for the best texture and flavor. Add a dash of smoked paprika to the shrimp marinade for a deeper, richer flavor.
