Description
Make zesty chili-lime shrimp on a sheet pan, serve it in crisp lettuce cups with a bright radish slaw, and top it with creamy avocado sriracha sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 limes, juiced (about 4 tablespoons)
- 1 cup thinly sliced radishes
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, divided
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 head butter lettuce or romaine hearts, leaves separated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- While the shrimp bakes, prepare the slaw: Combine the sliced radishes, shredded cabbage, and half of the cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the crema: Combine the avocado, sour cream or yogurt, sriracha, and lime zest in a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick.
- Once the shrimp is cooked, immediately drizzle the lime juice over the hot shrimp on the pan and toss gently.
- To assemble, spoon the chili-lime shrimp into the lettuce cups. Top with the radish slaw, a drizzle of the avocado sriracha crema, and the remaining cilantro.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the shrimp seasoning mix.
- If you do not have a food processor for the crema, mash the avocado well and whisk vigorously with the other ingredients.
- Use crisp, large lettuce leaves like butter lettuce or iceberg for the best wrap structure.
