Ingredients:
- Lane’s Honey Sriracha Rub

- Bachans Japanese BBQ Sauce
- 1 lb small to medium size shrimp
- Sweet Chili Sauce (Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce)
- Corn Starch
- Vegetable oil
- Tortillas
Optional Ingredients
- Optional Sriracha Hot Sauce (if you want some heat)
- Tomato
- Cilantro

Instructions:
Make sure your shrimp is peeled, deveined, and has no tails. Marinate your shrimp overnight in Bachan’s Japanese BBQ Sauce and 1 tbsp Lane’s Honey Sriracha.
(next day) In a bowl mix up 1/2 cup of Lane’s Sorta White, 1/3 cup Sweet Chili Sauce, 1 tbsp Bachan’s, and 1 tbsp Lane’s Honey Sriracha rub – set to the side. For added heat add Sriracha Hot Sauce 1 – 2 tbsp
Heat up 1 1/2 inch of cooking oil in a deep pan or pot to about 375 degrees. Using a shallow dish coat each side of the shrimp with cornstarch. Add Shrimp in batches to the oil and fry 2 minutes per side until the light brown and crispy. Remove using a strainer and place in a bowl with paper towels in the bottom to catch any extra oil.
Once all shrimp are fried add them to a bowl and pour over 2/3 of the bang bang mixture and mix/toss.
Now you’re ready to assemble the tacos how you like. We used tomatoes, cilantro, bang bang shrimp, and a drizzle of the leftover bang bang sauce.
Recipe Note
