1 hour 10 minutes


Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

¾ cup all-purpose flour

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tsp wasabi powder

1 cup cold sparkling water

1 tsp salt

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

8 corn tortillas

2 cups shredded cabbage

¼ cup chopped cilantro

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp lime juice

2 cups vegetable oil


Directions

1.

In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, and wasabi powder with salt. Gradually add cold sparkling water; whisk to form a batter.

2.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying the shrimp.

3.

Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Coat with panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

4.

Carefully drop shrimp into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them.

5.

Mix mayonnaise and lime juice to create a simple sauce. Spread a small amount on each tortilla.

6.

Assemble tacos by placing shredded cabbage on tortillas, followed by fried shrimp. Top with chopped cilantro for garnish.

7.

Serve the tacos immediately while shrimp are crispy, with a side of extra sauce for dipping.
