5. 5

   Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Using a small sharp knife, carefully cut a slit along one long side of each nopal without cutting all the way through, to make something resembling a pita pocket.

   Grill the nopales for 4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and grill marks appear.

8. 8

   Stuff the nopales with the shrimp mixture, dividing it equally, and serve with lime wedges and hot sauce.
