You get warm, juicy chili-lime shrimp, a crunchy radish slaw that wakes up your whole mouth, and an avocado sriracha crema that I would honestly drizzle on cardboard and still be happy.

Ingredients You’ll Need

The Sheet Pan Shrimp

1 ½ lbs large shrimp (peeled/deveined)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chili powder
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Salt

The Crunchy Slaw

1 cup shredded red cabbage
½ cup matchstick radishes
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

The Sauce Drip (The Star, Honestly)

1 ripe avocado
¼ cup sour cream
1 tbsp sriracha
1 garlic clove
(Blend until smooth)

For Assembly

1 head Butter or Boston lettuce, leaves separated and washed

How to Make Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with Radish Slaw & Avocado Sriracha Crema

Step 1: Heat the oven

Step 2: Season the shrimp

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with:

olive oil
chili powder
lime zest
lime juice
salt

Make sure everything gets coated. You want the shrimp looking glossy and slightly red-orange, like it’s already feeling confident.

Step 3: Roast

Spread shrimp in a single layer on the sheet pan. Roast for 8 minutes, just until they’re pink and curled.

Step 4: Make the crunchy radish slaw

While the shrimp cooks, toss together:

red cabbage
matchstick radishes
cilantro

That’s it. No complicated dressing needed because the crema and shrimp bring all the flavor. This slaw is here for crunch, freshness, and that “wow” bite.

Step 5: Blend the avocado sriracha crema

In a blender or food processor, blend:

avocado
sour cream
sriracha
garlic clove

Blend until smooth, thick, and pale green. Taste it. Then taste it again. Then try not to eat it with a spoon straight from the blender.

Step 6: Assemble like a pro

Add a bed of crunchy radish slaw.
Top with hot chili-lime shrimp.
Drizzle (and I mean drizzle generously) with avocado sriracha crema.

Eat immediately while the shrimp is warm and the slaw is cool. That contrast is the whole point.

My Favorite Little “Real Life” Moment With These Wraps

My family (and yes, even the ones who act suspicious around anything green) started building their own little stacks like it was taco night. Then the crema disappeared faster than my patience on a Monday.

Now it’s one of my go-to meals when I want something fresh but still exciting—because plain “healthy” food is not my love language.

Cooking Tips That Make This Even Easier

Pat shrimp dry before seasoning if they’re watery. You’ll get better roasting and more flavor sticking.
No blender? Mash the avocado with a fork, then stir in sour cream, sriracha, and grated garlic. Rustic = charming.
Make it a meal-prep situation: Prep slaw + crema ahead. Roast shrimp right before eating for best texture.

Easy Variations (Because Life Happens)

No radishes? Swap in shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, or thin bell pepper strips.
No cilantro fans in your house? Use green onion or parsley. (I won’t take it personally. Much.)
Want it more filling? Add cooked rice or quinoa inside the lettuce wraps—or serve everything bowl-style.

FAQs About Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

Can I make Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps ahead of time?

How do I store leftovers?

Store shrimp, slaw, and crema in separate airtight containers.

Shrimp: up to 2 days in the fridge
Slaw: 1–2 days (it stays crunchier if stored dry)
Crema: 1 day is best (avocado browns—still tasty, just less pretty)

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely. Thaw completely and pat dry first. Extra moisture can make shrimp steam instead of roast, and we want that bold roasted flavor.

What lettuce works best for lettuce wraps?

Is the avocado sriracha crema really spicy?

It depends on your sriracha. Start with less if you’re serving kids or spice-sensitive folks. You can always add more—spice is easy to increase, but hard to undo (like bangs).
