1. Prepare the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Cook the shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate to cool.
3. Prepare the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, and the remaining salt and pepper.
5. Assemble the coleslaw: Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
6. Add shrimp: Once the shrimp have cooled, roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold them into the coleslaw.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
