- – 1 lb raw shrimp peeled, de-veined, and tails removed (450g)

Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. If necessary, thin out the mixture with a bit of milk until it reaches a drizzling consistency. Adjust the seasoning as needed, then place it in the refrigerator to chill.
- In a large bowl, blend together gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, vegetable oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper to make the marinade. Dry the shrimp thoroughly and add them to the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated. Let them sit in the marinade for a few minutes while you warm the tortillas.
- Heat up the tortillas by placing them in a dry pan, on a griddle, or directly over a gas flame until they are soft and flexible, which should take about 30 seconds on each side. Keep them wrapped in foil to maintain their warmth.
- In a hot skillet set on medium-high, arrange the shrimp in a single layer. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes, making sure they turn opaque on the sides. Flip them over, cook for another minute, then switch off the heat and let the remaining warmth finish the cooking process.
- To put together the tacos, spread the prepared sauce over each tortilla. Add the shrimp and any additional toppings you prefer.
