Method
Directions for Crispy Shrimp Taco
Prepare the Chipotle Mayo
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and minced chipotle in adobo sauce. Set aside.
Make the Jicama Slaw
In a separate bowl, combine the julienned jicama, shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, pickled onions, and chopped scallions. Toss to combine.
Prepare the Shrimp
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk until combined.
Bread the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Ensure each shrimp is evenly coated.
Fry the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra scallions if desired.
