Sweet and spicy shrimp lettuce wraps
Sweet and spicy shrimp lettuce wraps
Ingredients
| 1 pound | raw shrimp, peeled |
| 1 teaspoon | olive oil |
| 1 tablespoon | brown sugar |
| 1 | lemon, juice |
| 1 | lime, juice and zest |
| 1 tablespoon | Sriracha sauce |
| 2 cups | cabbage, shredded |
| 1/2 cup | carrots, shredded |
| 1/2 | bell pepper, shredded |
| 1 tablespoon | light mayonnaise |
| 1 tablespoon | Greek yogurt |
| 2 tablespoons | white wine vinegar |
| 12 | romaine lettuce leaves |
| 1 | tomato, diced |
| 1 | fresh avocado, diced |
| 1 | mango, diced |
| Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Directions
In a plastic bag, place shrimp, lemon juice, lime juice, brown sugar, Sriracha, a dash of sea salt, and pepper. Let marinate overnight.
In a bowl, mix together cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, mayonnaise, yogurt, and white wine vinegar. Finish with fresh lime zest and diced mango. Let sit at least 1 hour.
In a sauté pan, heat olive oil. Add shrimp and sauté for 3 minutes, tossing so both sides of shrimp turn opaque (white). Add a small amount of marinade just before finishing.
Spread the romaine leaves on a platter, put 3 shrimp on each leaf and top with cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper mixture.
Finish by dressing each one with diced tomato and avocado.
For extra heat, drizzle a little Sriracha sauce on each lettuce wrap (optional).
