Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos
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 mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Lime wedges for serving
1. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until well combined. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through.
4. While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
5. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the heat and toss them in the sauce mixture until well coated.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the bang bang shrimp. Top with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions.
7. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
