Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Corn tortillas
• Your favorite taco toppings (shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, salsa, lime wedges)

Cooking Guide:

1. Prepare the shrimp: In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge shrimp in the flour mixture.
2. Create the coating: Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
3. Fry the shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully fry the breaded shrimp until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
4. Warm tortillas: Warm corn tortillas briefly over an open flame or in a dry skillet.
5. Assemble tacos: Fill warmed tortillas with crispy shrimp and your preferred toppings.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in lime juice and your favorite taco seasonings before breading.
• If you prefer a healthier option, bake the breaded shrimp in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until crispy.
• To prevent the shrimp from sticking together while frying, work in batches.
• Experiment with different taco toppings to find your perfect combination.
• Serve with your favorite Mexican beer or a refreshing margarita.
