Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound medium shrimp
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Pinch of paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Oil for frying
  • Corn tortillas
  • Shredded green cabbage
  • Sliced avocado
  • Fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing and patting dry 1 pound of medium shrimp. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with salt and pepper to season.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, and 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha (adjust to taste for spice). Set this aside.
  3. In another bowl, prepare a breading station. Mix 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of paprika and garlic powder. Dip each shrimp in the Bang Bang sauce, then coat in the breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp, cooking in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. While the shrimp are frying, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  6. Start with a warm tortilla, add a handful of shredded cabbage, a few crispy shrimp, a drizzle of the Bang Bang sauce, and top it off with sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime.
  7. Enjoy your Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with additional lime wedges on the side and maybe some extra sauce for dipping!

Keywords: Consider adding sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat. You can prepare the Bang Bang sauce and bread the shrimp ahead of time. Fresh cilantro or green onions make excellent garnishes.
