The Chef: Ralph Pagano
The Restaurant: Naked Taco on South Beach
The Dish: Shrimp Tacos
Ingredients:
10 medium shrimp
2 oz. Aioli
2 Tbs. toasted coconut
1 Tbs. pickled jalapeños (or to taste)
2 Tbs. micro cilantro (or regular)
2 Tbs. black sesame seeds (toasted)
4 small flour or corn tortillas
Sriracha Aoili
2 oz. Sriracha sauce
6 oz. mayonnaise
2 Tbs. lime juice
1 pinch of salt to taste
2 lime wedges
Method of Preparation:
-Start by making the Sriracha Aioli. In a bowl, add mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, fresh lime juice, & kosher salt. Stir well and set it to the side.
– Dip peeled, deveined shrimp in corn starch to dry them. This will make the shrimp nice and crispy. Next, dip them in Tempura batter.
– Fry the shrimp in soy oil at 350 degrees until they’re golden brown- usually about a minute or less. Drain on a paper towel.
– Put tortillas on the stove top and get them hot about 40 seconds on each side.
– Toss the fried tempura shrimp in the Sriracha Aioli and cover well.
To Plate:
Put the Sriracha Aioli shrimp in the warm tortilla shells. Garnish with toasted coconut, pickled jalapeños, black sesame seeds, micro cilantro and accent with a lime wedge.
