Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved, then add shredded carrots and cucumber. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

- Place naan or flatbread on a baking sheet. Top each with mozzarella cheese and shredded cabbage, then add cooked shrimp.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges of the flatbread are crispy.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon sriracha to create a drizzle sauce.
- Remove flatbreads from oven. Top with drained pickled vegetables, cilantro, green onions, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
