Steps

1Make the Feta Aioli: Break any larger feta crumbles down into very small crumbles so they’ll disperse in the “aioli”. Combine the feta “aioli” ingredients (mayonnaise, sour cream, small feta cheese crumbles, red wine vinegar, and black pepper) together in a medium bowl. Stir until well blended, then set aside.
2Prep the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. Toss with spices (garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne) until the shrimp is evenly coated. Set aside.
3Cook the Bacon: Cut the bacon into 1/2″ bite-sized pieces. Cook the chopped bacon in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess liquid. Leave the remaining rendered bacon fat in the pan, and turn the heat beneath the pan down to medium-low.
4Cook the Shrimp: Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan with the bacon fat, and cook the shrimp for a couple of minutes per side until cooked through.
5Toss the Shrimp in Wing Sauce: Turn the heat off from underneath the pan (the residual heat will last for a couple of minutes), and add the wing sauce. Toss the shrimp until they're completely coated in sauce.
6Build the Tacos: Divide the shredded romaine between four warm tortillas, then top the romaine with buffalo shrimp, crispy bacon, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle a little extra wing sauce from the pan over the shrimp, followed by a heavy spoonful of the feta aioli. Serve warm!
