In a large bowl, combine shrimp, black pepper, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and minced garlic. Use hands to mix thoroughly.
Heat medium sized skillet to medium heat. Cook shrimp on both sides for 1-2 minutes. (Do not overcook shrimp.)
Remove shrimp and place in a bowl to rest.
Place tortillas in between 2 microwavable plates and heat inside of microwave for two 30 second intervals to allow for steaming. (This will keep your tortillas from breaking when rolling.)
Pour oil into frying pan, up to a ½ inch, and heat burner to medium-high heat.
On a flat surface, place 3-4 pieces of shrimp in a line on a tortilla and roll tightly. Poke a toothpick through middle of tortilla to keep it closed.
Place rolled taquitos in pan to cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides until golden brown. Remove toothpick during flip and taquito should keep shape.
Once crispy, remove from oil to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Line bottom of plate with cut lettuce and place taquitos on top.
Cover taquitos with desired toppings.
Enjoy!
