  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

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.
