👩🍳 How to Make It
1. Prepare the Sheet Pan
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roast the Firecracker Shrimp
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 6–8 minutes, or until they are bright pink, juicy, and cooked through.
3. Make the Mango Cabbage Slaw
While the shrimp bakes, combine the shredded purple cabbage, diced mango, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice in a bowl. Toss gently until the slaw is crisp, colorful, and evenly coated.
4. Prepare the High-Protein Sweet Chili Crema
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth, creamy, and lightly tangy.
5. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps
Layer two butter lettuce leaves together for extra support. Fill each with a generous scoop of the mango cabbage slaw, then top with the hot firecracker shrimp.
6. Garnish and Serve
Finish with a generous drizzle of the sweet chili crema and serve immediately while the shrimp are warm and the lettuce is crisp.
