Ingredients
Bang Bang Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 ½ TBS Sriracha
- 1 TBS rice vinegar
- 2 TBS sugar
For shrimp
- 2-3 TBS cornstarch
- 1 lb medium/large pre-cooked shrimp, shells and tails removed, devained (can buy already like this), defrosted
- 1 cup canola or vegetable oil
For tacos:
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage blend (I like green and purple/red)
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped
Instructions
Bang Bang Sauce
-
Add all ingredients to a jar or bowl, whisk until completely combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the shrimp:
-
Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375 degrees (it should NOT be smoking).
-
Make sure the shrimp are dry (pat dry with paper towels if needed). Coat with cornstarch. Add shrimp carefully to the oil, fry 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. You may need to flip or stir the shrimp if they aren't fully submerged in the oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel lined plate.
Assemble tacos:
-
Add a bit of sauce to the shrimp and toss lightly to coat.
-
Warm corn tortilla shells (I like to let my burn a little on my gas stove). Place a bit of cabbage down on the bottom of the shell, then add shrimp, a little more cabbage, tomatoes, and green onion. Top with bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.
