Steps:
- PREPARE STIR FRY SAUCE (May be done several days ahead): Mix together brown sugar, 2T soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.
- PREPARE WRAP SAUCE (May be done several days ahead) Mix together Splenda, water, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and soy sauce. Put aside in a bowl to chill and let flavors blend
- Dice chicken breasts and sautee' in Pam in a non-stick skillet.
- Remove chicken from skillet. Using a knife or a food processor, chop or process both the chicken and shrimp VERY finely. (I really like the rough, crumbly texture you get when you use the food processor on pulse.)
- Return shrimp and chicken to pan. Add stir fry sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes for flavors to blend. Add scallions.
- Slice off root of lettuce head. Pull your lettuce cups off the outside of the head of lettuce. (Chop up remaining lettuce to use in salads.)
- Serve the meat in a bowl, with the lettuce cups on the side. To eat, spoon the mixture using a slotted spoon into the cup of lettuce and pour some of the special sauce over the mixture. Fold up the lettuce up like a tortilla and eat over a bowl.
- Serve with some rice to absorb the tasty sauces!
Tips:
- Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all the ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
- Use Fresh, Crunchy Lettuce: The type of lettuce you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Choose fresh, crisp lettuce that can hold up to the other ingredients. Iceberg, romaine, and butter lettuce are all good options.
- Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The sauce is a key component of this dish. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the wraps.
- Cook the Chicken and Shrimp Properly: Cook the chicken and shrimp until they are cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken and shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Assemble the Wraps Just Before Serving: The wraps are best when they are assembled just before serving. This will prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
Chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps are a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken and shrimp. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep, you can have a delicious meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps a try. You won't be disappointed!
