Preparation Steps
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the Negra Modelo beer until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
Fry the Shrimp
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare Tacos
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble each taco by placing a layer of shredded cabbage, followed by 2-3 pieces of fried shrimp, a generous spoonful of pico de gallo, and a drizzle of cremayo.
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately while they are hot, with extra pico de gallo and cremayo on the side.
