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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
- 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.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
