  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 (8 tacos) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Oil for frying
  • For the Bang Bang Sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • For the Mango Slaw: 1 1/2 cups shredded purple cabbage, 1 ripe mango (diced), 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Make Sauce & Slaw: Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a bowl. In a separate bowl, toss purple cabbage, diced mango, lime juice, and cilantro.
  2. Fry Shrimp: Dip shrimp into beaten egg, then dredge thoroughly in cornstarch. Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until extra crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and toss immediately in half of the Bang Bang sauce.
  3. Assemble: Warm tortillas on a dry skillet. Layer each tortilla with mango slaw, 3-4 crispy Bang Bang shrimp, and a drizzle of remaining sauce.

Notes

Pro Tip: For maximum crunch, make sure the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) before adding the shrimp so the coating crisps instantly without absorbing excess oil.
