FAQs
1. Can I make these cups ahead of time?
It’s best to assemble them right before serving to keep the avocado and mango fresh. However, you can prepare the shrimp mixture in advance and store it in the fridge.
2. What if I don’t have fresh coriander?
If you can’t find fresh coriander, you can use parsley as a substitute. It won’t have the same flavor but will still add a nice touch.
3. Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp! Just make sure to thaw them completely before marinating for the best results.
