- 5 Working in batches, fry shrimp about 2 – 3 minutes or until golden, turning halfway through. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and place on paper towel-lined sheet pan to drain.

To assemble tacos, spoon slaw into warmed tortillas. Add crispy shrimp and desired toppings. Drizzle generously with Chipotle Cremosa to serve.
Tip: You can make these shrimp in the Air Fryer, too! Spray basket of air fryer with no stick cooking spray. Preheat air fryer on 400°F. Coat shrimp as directed and spray lightly with no stick cooking spray. Place shrimp in single layer in air fryer basket. Air fry 4 - 5 minutes. Flip shrimp using tongs, spray tops lightly with cooking spray and air fry 4 - 5 minutes longer, just until cooked through and crispy. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
