1 Prepare the Shrimp
Pat shrimp dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and 1 tsp. water. If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, Cajun seasoning (use less if spice-averse), and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Add shrimp to cornstarch mixture, flipping to coat all over. Transfer to cornmeal mixture, coating all over and pressing gently to adhere.
-
2 Start the Ranch Slaw
In another mixing bowl, combine slaw mix and dressing (to taste). Set aside.
-
3 Finish the Ranch Slaw
Place corn in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until warmed through, 30-60 seconds.
Stir corn into bowl with ranch slaw. Set aside.
-
4 Cook the Shrimp
Line a plate with a paper towel.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add 3 Tbsp. olive oil and shrimp to hot pan. Cook until shrimp are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-4 minutes per side.
Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to towel-lined plate.
-
5 Warm Tortillas and Finish Dish
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds.
If tortillas come folded, keep folded.
Alternatively, place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, to hot, dry pan. Heat undisturbed, 30-45 seconds per side. Remove from pan.
Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with shrimp and ranch slaw (to taste), and topping with crispy onions and cheese (crumbling if needed). Bon appétit!
