Prepare the ginger-lime slaw by combining shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, and fresh cilantro in a medium bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, fresh lime juice, grated fresh ginger, and sesame oil to create the slaw dressing. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to combine, then set aside to allow flavors to meld.

For the citrus-soy glaze, combine soy sauce, honey, and sriracha, if using, in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until honey is dissolved and the glaze slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the panko shrimp in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Arrange a generous portion of the ginger-lime slaw on each serving plate. Top the slaw with the crispy panko shrimp.

Drizzle the warm citrus-soy glaze generously over the shrimp and slaw. Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds for an extra touch of elegance and crunch before serving immediately.
