1

Add coleslaw mix, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper to a large bowl. Stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.
2

In a separate bowl, combine shrimp, blackened seasoning, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Stir until evenly mixed.
3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp mixture and cook until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 6 minutes, stirring halfway through.
