3 tbsp unsalted butter divided
4 cloves garlic minced

Storage: Store shrimp and slaw in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make-ahead: The slaw can be prepared 4 hours in advance for maximum crunch. Substitution: Use flour tortillas if preferred, or swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a higher protein option.
