Description
Deliciously crispy shrimp tacos complemented by creamy avocado and crunchy cabbage, all drizzled with a spicy bang bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured shrimp back into the buttermilk and then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat one inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain the fried shrimp on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the heat level according to preference.
- Assemble the tacos: place a handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, add fried shrimp, drizzle with bang bang sauce, and top with avocado slices.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
Notes
For best results, ensure oil is hot enough before frying and avoid overcrowding the skillet.
