Description

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos are a delicious and flavorful dish featuring crispy shrimp, fresh toppings, and a spicy bang bang sauce, all wrapped in warm tortillas.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, the egg (beaten) in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
  3. Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip it in the egg, and then coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Repeat until all shrimp are breaded.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom (about 1/4 inch deep). Once hot, add the breaded shrimp in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to create the bang bang sauce. Adjust the heat by adding more sriracha if desired.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  7. To assemble, place a handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, top with shrimp, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of the bang bang sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, try baking the shrimp instead of frying. Preheat the oven to 400°F, place the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Customize your toppings by adding avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess.
