Method
Taco Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.
Fry the Shrimp
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated shrimp and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Tacos
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet. Place a portion of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by fried shrimp, chopped cilantro, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo.
Add Sauce
Drizzle with Creamy Jalapeño sauce and fold the tortillas over the fillings. Serve immediately.
