1

Welcome to Jenny's kitchen, today I'm making shrimp tacos.

2

Start with jumbo shrimp, size 16/20, and demonstrate how to peel and devein them quickly: press the bottom of the tail, snap, and pull to remove the shell.

3

Split the shrimp to remove the vein, ensuring not to cut all the way through, and clean under water.

4

Once all shrimp are cleaned, heat up oil in a skillet.

5

Season shrimp with a simple seasoning salt, mixing well to coat evenly.

6

Prepare the batter with 2 cups of all-purpose flour, adding 1 tablespoon each of garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken bouillon.

7

Add mineral water and beer to the batter, whisking until combined. Adjust consistency by adding beer gradually.

8

Let the shrimp sit in the batter while preparing the toppings.

9

Use pre-shredded cabbage for convenience, or shred fresh cabbage if preferred.

10

Dice a tomato and add it to a bowl.

11

Dice radish and add to the bowl.

12

Dice onion, cilantro, and add to the bowl as well.

13

Squeeze the juice of 2 small lemons into the veggie mix and stir well.
