Notes

Substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for different preferences. Use romaine or iceberg lettuce if butter or Boston lettuce isn't available. Add shredded carrots or bell peppers to the slaw for extra color and crunch. Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternatives for dietary needs. Adjust sriracha to your spice tolerance. Store shrimp and slaw in the fridge up to 2 days; use avocado crema within 24 hours for freshness.
