BIBB LETTUCE AND SHRIMP WRAPS

Bibb Lettuce and Shrimp Wraps image

I like the idea of a wrap for spring or summer because it's really light and fun to eat. You can also top this with some salsa.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dry sherry
Juice of 1 lemon
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
12 to 16 medium Bibb lettuce leaves, thoroughly washed
1/4 cup dry-roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium cloves garlic, peeled, minced
1 red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Small bunch fresh thyme, tied with string
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
12 U-10 shrimp, each cut into 3 equal pieces
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

For the onions: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and thyme and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes, and then add 1/2 cup water. Continue cooking until the onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If the liquid reduces too much, add a little more water. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the ginger. Remove from the heat and discard the thyme.
For the shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Toss the shrimp with the paprika and salt in a bowl, stirring to coat. When the oil begins to smoke, shut off the heat, add the shrimp to the skillet and toss around with a metal spatula so they are coated with oil and cook more evenly. Stir in the sherry. Turn the heat back on to medium-high and cook until the shrimp are no longer translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice over and remove from the heat. Reserve any cooking liquid (if there is any). Stir the onion mixture into the shrimp.
For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice and zest in a small bowl. Add in any cooking liquid from the shrimp. Whisk to blend. Season with salt and pepper. For assembly: Spoon a little of the onion and shrimp mixture onto the bottom of each Bibb leaf. Top each with a sprinkle of the peanuts and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Serve any remaining vinaigrette on the side.

ASIAN SHRIMP WRAPS

Asian Shrimp Wraps image

This is an easy low point recipe for Weight Watchers. Be sure to really drain the shrimp or the wrap will be really runny. You can find Hoisin sauce at most grocery stores but to get the really good stuff go to an Asian Market or whole food health store. 1 point per serving for Weight Watchers. Sorry, this recipe isn't core but at 1 point per wrap who cares?
