Tips:
- Use large shrimp: They hold up better in the cooking process and provide a more satisfying bite.
- Season the shrimp well: A simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will do the trick.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: They should be cooked through but still have a slight pink tinge in the center.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your alambre.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: A Mexican cheese blend is a classic choice, but you could also use cheddar, mozzarella, or even goat cheese.
- Serve alambre with your favorite toppings: Guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and pico de gallo are all great options.
