In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.  Place corn starch in a shallow dish, and lightly whisk two eggs together to create an egg wash in a separate shallow dish. Dip each piece of shrimp in corn starch to coat, then dip in the egg wash to coat.  Heat 6-8 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet on high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp to the pan. You may need to cook the shrimp in two batches so that you don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until the shrimp are crispy.  Remove the shrimp to a paper towel lined plate to drain.  Add the shrimp to the spicy mayo.  Serve on warmed tortillas.
