Method
 

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

  6. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with shredded lettuce or cabbage, Bang Bang Shrimp, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds (if using).
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos!

Notes

For best results, pat the shrimp dry before coating with cornstarch. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired spice level. Warm tortillas just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy. Leftover bang bang shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add a squeeze of lime juice to the sauce for extra zest. Consider adding avocado slices for a creamy addition.
