Crispy popcorn shrimp with quick slaw
Frozen popcorn shrimp crisps to gold in minutes with nothing but heat. A bright, sharp slaw of shredded cabbage and lime cuts through the salt and crunch, turning weeknight protein into something that tastes considered.

To buy
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 1 lime
From your shelf
- 1 package sea salt & pepper jumbo popcorn shrimp
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil heats, thinly shred enough green cabbage to make 3 cups and place it in a bowl with 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt; toss and set aside.
- Once the oil shimmers, spread the frozen shrimp in a single layer and cook without stirring until the bottom sides are deep golden, about 4 minutes. Shake the pan so they roll, then cook another 2 to 3 minutes until the coating is crisp all over.
- Divide the slaw between two plates and top with the hot shrimp. Serve at once with the remaining lime cut into wedges.
Note Swap the slaw for steamed jasmine rice or soft flour tortillas. Leftover shrimp crisps up again in a hot skillet; leftover slaw keeps three days covered in the fridge. Serve with sriracha or hot sauce on the side.
