I always use tapioca flour for thickening. Do you think I could do a swap out from the cornstarch?

Yes! But you'd switch it up to 2 teaspoons tapioca flour :)

Coincidence?
I have shrimp waiting to use as an appetizer but I think I will switch to this and see how my family likes it.
Looks and sounds delicious!
