Shrimp Coleslaw Tacos

These Shrimp Coleslaw Tacos are seriously packed with flavor! The crispy  shrimp goes perfectly the spicy bang bang sauce and tangy coleslaw.

MARINADE SHRIMP

01

Add shrimp, milk and lemon juice to a medium bowl. Let the shrimp marinate in the buttermilk for 15 minutes while you prep the rest of your ingredients.

MIX BREADING INGREDIENTS

02

In a large bowl combine cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.

ADD SHRIMP IN BREADING 

03

Add in a couple shrimp at a time and coat both sides in the cornstarch breading.

FRY SHRIMP

04

Preheat the oil to 350F. Cook the shrimp  for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the oil and transfer to a baking sheet topped with a wire rack.

MAKE SAUCE

05

Add the sweet Thai chili sauce and the mayonnaise to a small bowl. Add sriracha to taste then whisk to combine. Set aside.

MAKE COLESLAW

06

Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder and sugar in a bowl. Toss in the red and green cabbage and season with salt and pepper.

You can either toss the shrimp in the bang bang sauce or place the shrimp on the tacos then drizzle with sauce! Layer coleslaw on top and add fresh cilantro. I also like to serve lime wedges on the plate for squeezing on top.
