Instructions
Step 1
Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels, then toss them in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
Step 2
Step 2: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a pinch of flour in — it should sizzle immediately. Fry shrimp in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 3
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth and creamy. Adjust heat by adding more sriracha if desired.
Step 4
Step 4: Toss the warm shrimp gently in the sauce to coat evenly but not saturate.
Step 5
Step 5: Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel. Layer each tortilla with shredded cabbage, 3-4 saucy shrimp, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Step 6
Step 6: Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos.
