Crispy Shrimp Taco Ingredients

Method

Crispy Shrimp Taco Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mango Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced mango, grated carrot, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Toss well to mix and set aside to let the flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the corn flour with cold water until smooth. Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat the coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered shrimp and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a few crispy shrimp on each tortilla, top with mango slaw, and drizzle with Salsa Taquera. Serve immediately.
