Ingredients
- Crispy Fried Shrimp: The shrimp are battered and fried to a crispy golden texture. The batter is usually made with flour and seasonings that give the shrimp a crunchy exterior while keeping the shrimp juicy inside.

- Cabbage Slaw: A fresh slaw made with shredded cabbage, often dressed with lime or a creamy dressing, providing a crunchy and tangy contrast to the fried shrimp.
- Pico de Gallo: A fresh mixture of diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. This topping adds a zesty, bright flavor to balance out the richness of the shrimp.
- Creamy Sauce: A tangy or spicy sauce, often made with mayonnaise, chili sauce, or avocado crema, drizzled over the shrimp for added flavor and richness.
- Lime Wedges: Squeezing lime over the tacos enhances the overall flavors with a burst of citrusy brightness.

Allergens
- Shellfish: The main protein in these tacos is shrimp, making them unsuitable for those with shellfish allergies.
- Gluten: The shrimp are battered and fried, which typically contains gluten. If you’re avoiding gluten, be sure to ask if the dish can be made gluten-free by grilling the shrimp instead of frying them.
- Dairy: The creamy sauce or slaw may contain dairy (such as in sour cream or mayonnaise), making it unsuitable for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
- Egg: The batter used for frying the shrimp may contain egg, so individuals with egg allergies should inquire about modifications.
- Soy: The sauce and seasoning may contain soy, so it’s important to confirm if soy ingredients are used.
- Garlic: Garlic might be present in the seasoning or sauce, so those with garlic sensitivities should ask about its inclusion.
Recommendations
- For a lighter option: Request grilled shrimp instead of fried to reduce calories and fat. You can also ask for the sauce on the side or opt for a lighter dressing on the slaw. Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables to keep the meal light and balanced.
- For a richer, indulgent meal: Enjoy the crispy fried shrimp as they are, and pair them with hearty sides like garlic mashed potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts, or a side of mac and cheese. These sides will complement the richness of the shrimp and batter.
- Wine Pairing: A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would pair well with the crispy shrimp, offering a light and refreshing contrast to the fried elements. If you prefer red wine, a Pinot Noir could be a great match, as its acidity helps balance the fried richness.
- For a gluten-free option: Ask for the shrimp to be grilled (not battered and fried) and request gluten-free tortillas. Pair with a gluten-free side like steamed vegetables or a house salad.
- For heart-healthy benefits: Request grilled shrimp instead of fried, and opt for a side of steamed vegetables or a mixed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette. This will make the dish lighter and more heart-healthy without sacrificing flavor.
