Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Gradually add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Set the batter aside for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Step 4
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and lime juice. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 8
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Step 9
Assemble the tacos by placing a few fried shrimp in each tortilla, topping with the cabbage-carrot slaw, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
