Ingredients
Scale
For the Shrimp
- 1 ½ lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
For the Crunchy Slaw
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- ½ cup matchstick radishes
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For the Avocado Sriracha Crema
- 1 ripe avocado
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 garlic clove
For Assembly
- 1 head Butter or Boston lettuce, leaves separated and washed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper if desired.
- Season the shrimp. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, and salt until evenly coated.
- Roast. Spread shrimp in a single layer on the sheet pan. Roast for 8 minutes, or until shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly curled. Do not overcook.
- Make the slaw. In a medium bowl, toss shredded cabbage, radishes, and chopped cilantro together. Set aside.
- Prepare the crema. In a blender or food processor, blend avocado, sour cream, sriracha, and garlic until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the wraps. Double up lettuce leaves for stability. Add a spoonful of slaw, top with warm chili-lime shrimp, and drizzle generously with avocado sriracha crema. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Pat shrimp dry before seasoning for better roasting.
- Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
- For meal prep, store shrimp, slaw, and crema separately in airtight containers.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
- If avocado crema thickens in the fridge, stir in a small splash of lime juice.
