Sheet Pan Shrimp Tacos With Creamy Jalapeño, Lime & Honey Salsa Verde
I live in the heart of NYC, where grilling isn’t always practical—but that doesn’t mean flavor has to take a backseat. This sheet pan method is my go-to: it’s convenient, quick, and keeps cleanup to a minimum. The shrimp are season with my Thaimee Chiang Mai Style Laab Chili Powder which makes my kitchen smell amazing! I also chose to make the salsa verde with yogurt—it’s my healthier version, creamy but light, with just the right amount of tang.Everything comes together with bold, balanced flavors and a colorful, build-your-own taco style that’s always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- For the Sheetpan Shrimp:
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined (I use 16-20 cts / lb)
- 1 bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons Thaimee Laab spice or substitute with chili flakes,
- Salt to taste
- For the Creamy Jalapeño Lime Honey Salsa Verde:
- 1 /2 jalapeños seeds removed for milder heat, or to taste
- 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon honey or to taste
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- To Serve:
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas warmed (or tortillas of your choice, I use wholewheat one for my healthier version)
- 1 avocado slice
- Shredded cabbage or crisp lettuce
- Corn and black bean salad optional
- Lime wedges
- Additional sauces or dips of your choice optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Toss shrimp and bell peppers with olive oil, Laab spice, and a pinch of salt. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.
- Roast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through and peppers are tender.
- While shrimp roasts, blend the salsa verde. In a blender, combine jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, honey, yogurt, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- To serve, arrange shrimp, peppers, avocado, cabbage, and corn-bean salad on a large platter. Serve with warm tortillas and a generous drizzle of the creamy salsa verde.

Notes
Optional Add-on:
You can mix and match your favorite dipping sauces or toppings. The creamy salsa verde is a star, but this setup works beautifully with chipotle aioli, Thai sweet chili sauce, or any fresh herb yogurt you love.
