Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Store leftover shrimp and slaw separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Avocado crema is best used fresh but can be kept for a few hours in the fridge with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
Variations:
Grill the shrimp for a smoky flavor.
Add pickled red onions or mango salsa for a sweet-tangy twist.
Swap shrimp for fish (mahi-mahi) or chicken if desired.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes, prep the slaw and avocado crema in advance, but cook the shrimp just before serving to maintain juiciness.
Q: Can I use store-bought Cajun seasoning?
A: Absolutely! Or mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, thyme, and oregano for a homemade version.
