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.
