🔥🔥🔥 Ingredients
For the Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Shrimp
- 1½ lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt, to taste
For the Crunchy Radish Slaw
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- ½ cup matchstick radishes
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For the Thick Avocado Sriracha Crema
- 1 ripe avocado
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp sriracha

🔥🔥🔥 Instructions
1. Roast the Chili-Lime Shrimp
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, chili powder, lime zest, fresh lime juice, and salt until evenly coated.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 8 minutes, or until they turn bright pink, curl slightly, and are just cooked through.
2. Make the Crunchy Slaw
While the shrimp are roasting, combine the shredded red cabbage, matchstick radishes, and chopped cilantro in a medium bowl.
Toss everything together until evenly mixed, creating a crisp, colorful slaw with plenty of fresh crunch.
3. Blend the Avocado Sriracha Crema
Add the avocado, sour cream, sriracha, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth, thick, creamy, and vibrant pale green. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired.
4. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps
Double up the butter lettuce leaves for extra support and crunch.
Fill each lettuce cup with a generous layer of the crunchy radish slaw, then top with several hot chili-lime shrimp.
Finish by heavily drizzling each wrap with a massive, thick, scroll-stopping avocado sriracha crema. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Tips for the Best Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
- Pat the shrimp dry before seasoning to help them roast instead of steam.
- Use butter or Boston lettuce for soft, sturdy wraps that hold the filling well.
- Add sliced avocado, diced cucumber, or pickled onions for extra freshness.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for added crunch.
- Serve with extra lime wedges for a bright citrus finish.
