Method
 

Prep the Shrimp
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp, ensuring they’re well coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Tip: If your shrimp are frozen, run them under cold water to defrost quickly before marinating.
Prepare the Radish Slaw
  1. In another bowl, mix the radishes, cabbage, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss well and set aside to let the flavors mingle.
Make the Avocado Sriracha Crema
  1. In a blender, combine avocado, sour cream, Sriracha, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust Sriracha to your spice preference.
  2. Tip: Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick.
Cook the Shrimp
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated shrimp on a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for about 10 minutes or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  2. Tip: Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking, which can cause shrimp to become rubbery.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Take a lettuce leaf, add a spoonful of radish slaw, top with a few shrimp, and drizzle with the avocado crema.
  2. Tip: Customize each wrap with toppings like diced tomatoes or fresh cilantro.
Enjoy!
  1. Serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges for added zest.

Notes

For a tangy twist, substitute lemon for lime! Prefer a kick? Try using chipotle powder instead of chili powder.
