Paleo Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

Paleo Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos.  Delicious soft tacos with a creamy spicy shrimp sauce.  Topped with purple cabbage, cilantro and a drizzle of Sriracha for an extra kick!  These flavorful tacos are perfect for taco night!

For these Paleo Bang Bang Tacos, I used my Paleo Tortillas 2.0 Recipe.  These are soft and flexible tortillas that work out just right for this recipe.

I roll them out to 5 inches round and heat them on low-medium heat on a cast iron griddle.  Just make sure that your cast iron is properly seasoned so that the tortillas do not stick.

I also use a tortilla warmer to allow the tortillas to steam and stay warm, I use this one, it keeps my tortillas warm for up to an hour!  These grain free tortillas work out great for making these Paleo Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos!

In order to save time with this recipe, I skipped the double breading process that normally comes with making Bang Bang Shrimp and decided to make a single batter instead.  The shrimp still gets crispy and tastes great!  Plus, it saves time in the kitchen.

Also, for an extra crispy batter, you will want to use my Gluten Free Beer Batter .  It will work wonders in this recipe and I will try that next time!  I use it for making Gluten Free Beer Battered Fish…yum!

If you want to make this recipe kid friendly, I suggest reducing or omitting the Sriracha sauce for the Paleo Bang Bang Shrimp, it was a bit spicy for my kiddos!  The sauce will have a yummy honey flavor and they will love that!

Be sure to serve these with red cabbage, cilantro and lime wedges.

Also, if you are like me and like things extra spicy, serve with a drizzle of Sriracha sauce!

I know you will love these delicious Paleo Bang Bang Shrimp tacos as much as we do!  They are full of flavor, crispiness and definitely a Bang for dinner!!
