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.
