  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 avocado, sliced

  2. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge shrimp in the dry mixture.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha to make bang bang sauce. Toss fried shrimp in the sauce.
  5. For the avocado, dredge slices in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Fry avocado slices in the same skillet until golden and crispy, about 1–2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Toss shredded cabbage with lime juice.
  8. Assemble tacos by layering slaw, bang bang shrimp, and fried avocado in each tortilla. Garnish with cilantro and extra sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust Sriracha to control heat level.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife for evenly sliced avocado.
  • Serve with lime wedges for extra zest.
  • For a lighter version, bake or air-fry shrimp and avocado.
