Lightly charred, citrus-infused grilled shrimp take center stage in this quick-cooking slaw, which features thinly sliced, crisp green cabbage tossed in a sweet-tart citrus dressing. Cilantro adds a vibrant, fresh brightness, while fresh jalapeños contribute a subtle spicy kick—note that jalapeño heat levels vary significantly, so start with a small amount and adjust to your preference. (For a milder balance, julienned mango can be added to temper the spiciness, if desired.)

Quick-cooking proteins like grilled chicken thighs or thick slices of grilled tofu make excellent substitutes for the shrimp. The cabbage will soften as it sits, so for maximum crispness, serve the slaw promptly after dressing.
