Camarones empanizados

Method

1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, then make three incisions along the belly and straighten the shrimp.
2. 2 Toss with salt and pepper, pat dry, and roll in flour.
3. 3 Dip the batter in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs and press firmly to create a thick coating.
4. 4 Fry in oil at 180 degrees for exactly 2 minutes; shrimp cooks very quickly, so overcooking will cause the meat to shrink.
5. 5 Mix mayonnaise with chopped chipotle peppers and lime juice to make a spicy dipping sauce.
6. 6 Serve with shredded cabbage and corn tortillas to wrap into fried shrimp tacos.
