1. To make the Sweet N Spicy sauce: combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until thick consistency. Allow for cooling, then add mayonnaise and Sriracha.
2. In a large bowl add the shredded nappa cabbage, shredded red cabbage, minced cilantro, and green onions. Toss with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt. Make sure everything is nicely mixed together. Set aside.
3. To make the tortillas: combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add a bit of coconut oil. Pour in 1/5 of the batter at a time and spread out into about a small circle.
4. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. The tortillas should be soft and pliable but be golden brown in colour.
5. Repeat until you have 5 tortillas.
6. Heat a large skillet over high heat and melt the coconut oil. Toss shrimp with tapioca until covered and place in skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and golden/brown in colour. Toss with Special sauce.
7. Place the coleslaw into the taco shell, add the shrimp, and finish off with a drizzle of hot sauce.
