Learn how to make delicious Crispy Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Let’s gather our ingredients — a mix of pantry staples and fresh produce that come together to create magic. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Transforming these ingredients into a plate of deliciousness is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps to create your own crispy, flavorful tacos:

  1. Begin by preparing the shrimp. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the shrimp in this mixture until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. Once hot, carefully add the shrimp in batches, frying until they turn golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey to create the bang bang sauce. Taste and adjust the spice level to your preference.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing a handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Top with crispy shrimp and drizzle generously with the bang bang sauce.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
