Ingredients

1/2 onion, finely chopped
3+ cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
2 teaspoon olive oil
1 vine tomato, diced
1 pound medium raw shrimp (available from Fisherman's Market), peeled and deveined; cut into large, equal sized pieces
kosher salt
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
olive oil spray
1/2 cup Fisherman's Kitchen Bang Bang Sauce
Optional garnishes: Fisherman's Kitchen Bang Bang sauce; green onion, chopped; avocado, thinly sliced; red onion, thinly sliced; lime wedges

Let's Make It!

Step 1
Heat large skillet over medium heat; sauté the onion, garlic and jalapeño in 1 teaspoon oil until mixture is soft; add the tomatoes and cook until mixture is thickened, about 3-4 minutes; add 1/4 teaspoon salt and cilantro and cook 1 minute; remove the mix and place in large bowl

Step 2
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in medium-high skillet; tilt the pan as the oil warms, to coat the bottom of the pan; add the shrimp (make sure they are on a single layer, all touching the skillet) and cook until they are lightly browned on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center; depending on the size of the shrimp and how many you have in the pan, this will usually take 3 to 5 minutes

Step 3
Transfer shrimp to paper towels to remove excess moisture; add cooked shrimp to mixture from Step 1 and gently mix; pour Bang Bang sauce over the shrimp filling; toss gently to coat

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400F; line large nonstick baking sheets with foil; spray foil with olive oil spray

Step 5
Place 3 to 4 tortillas at a time between paper towels and microwave until warm (about 30 seconds); spread 3 tablespoons of shrimp filling onto the bottom third of each tortilla; roll tortilla up from the bottom to surround the filling; once rolled put tortilla on the baking sheet—seam side down; repeat with the remaining tortillas and shrimp filling; spray the tortillas with olive oil; bake until tortillas start to get golden and crispy, about 15 minutes

Step 6
Remove from oven; plate Taquitos, drizzle with Bang Bang Sauce and top with garnish of your choice
