Shrimp Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the water until the batter is smooth. Dip the shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered shrimp in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced pineapple, and chopped cilantro. Toss together until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet. Place a generous amount of the slaw on each tortilla, add several crispy shrimp, and drizzle with bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
