Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This taco was just crazy good. It was also crazy spicy! The bang bang in this recipe really doesn’t skimp! If you like hot stuff like I do, than this won’t disappoint! The extreme spiciness of the serrano chilis is well balanced by the sweet carmalized onions and the sweet spicy sriracha mayonnaise. Frying the cajun-spiced shrimp gives it a nice crispy texture. And when you make it, don’t skimp on frying the corn tortillas for 30 seconds. I just put the tortilla in, drained it, and then put it sandwiched in a bowl so it would form a taco shape and harden that way. They were crispy and chewy—perfect. You could absolutely reduce the spice in this—but why would you want to???
