Wondering how to cut cilantro? Here's a step by step guide and video that shows you the best way for cutting cilantro (and our favorite herb saver, too). 

POST: https://www.acouplecooks.com/how-to-cut-cilantro

STEP BY STEP:
Hold the root ends of the cilantro with your non-cutting hand. Use a large chef's knife to scrape off the leaves in a downward motion.
Use your fingers to remove any large stems from the cilantro leaves; small tender stems are okay.
Holding the top of the blade with your non-cutting hand, rock the blade back and forth to chop the cilantro. Pull the leaves back into a pile and go over them with the knife several times until the pieces are the size that you're looking for.

How to Cut Cilantro

Crispy, golden shrimp coated in a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce make these Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos an irresistible seafood dinner. Easy to make and packed with crunch and flavor, they’re sure to be a hit!

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

buttermilk

cornstarch

panko breadcrumbs

tsp salt

tbsp sweet chili sauce

sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)

tsp honey or sugar (optional

flour tortillas

cabbage

If using frozen shrimp, defrost first

In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.

Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey or sugar until smooth.

Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a warm oven.

Add a layer of shredded cabbage to each tortilla, followed by the crispy shrimp. Drizzle generously with bang bang sauce.

Top with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime, and any optional toppings you like. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
