Firecracker Shrimp Taco's

Ingredients:

• 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and tails removed
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 large eggs beaten
• 1/4 cup neutral oil for frying
• Corn tortilla's
• Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili garlic sauce
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tbs chili crisp (or 1/2 tbs red pepper flakes)
  • 1 tbs Sriracha
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
• Toppings:
  • Shredded cabbage
  • Avocado slices

Directions:

• Mix the sauce ingredients together and put in a small sauce pan.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
• Lightly toss the shrimp in the cornstarch until coated. Dip them individually into the beaten eggs right before frying.
• Add shrimp about 1/2 the shrimp to your saute pan and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the process with the remaining shrimp, discarding any excess oil.
• While the shrimp cook, bring the sauce to a boil, then turn it down to simmer until the end.
• Cook the tortilla's on a hot skillet for 30-45 seconds per side.
• When the shrimp are done, remove the oil from the the saute pan you just used to cook the shrimp. Over medium heat, add the shrimp back in then pour just enough sauce to cover and toss to coat.
• Assemble tacos with the shrimp, shredded cabbage, avocado slices and a little drizzle of sauce.
