How do you store fried shrimp?

Allow the shrimp to cool completely to room temperature. Store the shrimp in an airtight container. Place them in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to 2 days. For the best texture, it is recommended to reheat the shrimp in an oven or pan to keep them crispy. Using a microwave may make them soft.

How do you store tortilla wraps?

Store unused tortilla wraps in their original packaging or an airtight bag. You can keep them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life, where they will stay good for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze tortilla wraps, where they will remain good for several months.

How do you store the sauce?

Store the sauce in an airtight container or a jar with a lid. The sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Can you freeze shrimp tacos?

Allow the fried shrimp to cool completely to room temperature after frying. It is important that they are completely cooled to prevent condensation and ice crystal formation in the freezer. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet or plate with a piece of parchment paper in between, so they do not freeze together. First, freeze them loosely, uncovered, for about 1-2 hours. Pack the pre-frozen shrimp in an airtight container or a freezer bag. It is convenient to divide the shrimp into portions, so you can thaw only the amount you need later. Label the packaging with the freezing date. Fried shrimp can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months for the best quality. To thaw, place the shrimp in the refrigerator the night before you want to use them, or use the defrost function of your microwave if you have less time. For the best result, it is recommended to reheat the shrimp in an oven or pan to make them crispy again.

What do you need?

Quantity: 4P

6 tbsp flour
1 tsp paprika powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
500 g large shrimp
5 to 6 medium tortilla wraps
0.5 white cabbage, finely chopped

1 handful of fresh cilantro/flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
olive oil

For the sauce:
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
4 tbsp sriracha sauce
juice of 0.5 lime
pepper and salt

Preparation method

How do you make this?

For the shrimp: Place the flour in a bowl and add the paprika powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place the bowls next to each other. Dip the shrimp one by one in the egg, then in the flour, back in the egg, and finally back in the flour.

Then heat a pan with oil. Fry the shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are nicely golden brown on both sides.

For the sauce: Combine the Greek yogurt, sriracha sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

For the tacos: Warm the tortilla wraps in a pan. Do this for about 1 minute.

Place a tortilla wrap on your workspace and spread a thin layer of the sauce on it. Then place a handful of the finely chopped white cabbage, followed by the red onion, tomato, avocado, and fried shrimp.

Finish with some extra red onion, the sauce, and fresh cilantro/parsley. Complete the rest of the tacos in this way.

Tips

Serve with a quarter of lime and a fresh Corona extra, and enjoy! You can also use panko instead of flour. That makes it a little more crunchy and a little less fat. Prepare this when you organize a party. This healthy snack can easily be eaten from the fist.
