These shrimp tacos are possibly the best things I have ever made ever. I wish I had 100 more to eat right now. The shrimp tastes good sautéed, but if you want to go all out, can't go wrong with frying. ;)

Ingredients

Tortillas
Shrimp & Garnishes
about 30 good-sized shrimp
If frying: 1 c mix of tapioca flour/arrowroot starch, cassava flour, and tigernut flour (you can play around w/ the ratios based on what you have, I used about ⅓ c of each, if you're missing any can go 50:50 on the other two)
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup of oil/fat for frying (I used a mix of coconut, pastured lard, and extra virgin olive oil - avocado oil would also work)
2 tb garlic, minced
limes
radish
green cabbage
cilantro
avocado
White sauce/crema
2 tb coconut cream
2 tb extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tsp lime juice
pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Peel (and de-vein if needed) shrimp.
If frying: heat up oil on stove in pot on medium heat. Combine tapioca, cassava, tigernut, and salt to make breading mixture. Toss shrimp in mixture and coat well. When oil is hot (a drop of flicked water sizzles), put in around 6-7 shrimp - try not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, until browned, then drain on a paper towel. Repeat until all the shrimp are fried.
If sauté-ing, heat up 1 tb olive oil in pan. Add garlic. Once garlic browns, add shrimp and cook over high heat 1-2 minutes a side until shrimp have turned pink. Sprinkle with salt and a squirt of lime juice.
When shrimp are done, assemble your tacos! About 3-4 shrimp per taco, slice of avocado, sprinkle of cabbage, cilantro, couple cut radishes, hit of lime. Finish with crema and enjoy!
