I've been wanting to make shrimp tacos for a while and finally decided to do it. Because I was thinking tacos like we've been making (seasoned beef or chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, crunchy shells), I decided to check duckduckgo for actual shrimp taco recipes. I found what turned out to be a great one.
Raw shrimp, salt and peppered, and coated in corn starch. Fried them hot and fast in clarified butter.
Finely chopped raw cabbage and finely grated radishes.
The sauce was equal parts mayo, sour cream, and sriracha.
These ingredients were set on a warm flour tortilla and then a little squeeze of lime across it.
I was really surprised at how good these were, considering the ingredients. I don't get excited about raw cabbage or radish. I've never tried sriracha sauce. And usually, when we eat the little store bought shrimp, they are the pre cooked variety. I almost went with those, but am glad l decided to cook the raw ones (something I've not done before).
