SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS RECIPE



Shrimp Lettuce Wraps Recipe image

Light and delicious shrimp lettuce wraps loaded with flavor from crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of sauce. Ready in about 10 minutes! The best lettuce to use for lettuce wraps is butter lettuce (also called bibb or Boston bibb lettuce). Choose larger, sturdier leaves that will hold up under all the toppings. Serve lettuce wraps by themselves for a light lunch or appetizer, or alongside a white bean salad or potato salad for something heftier.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Tahini Green Goddess Dressing recipe
1 Persian Cucumber or ¼ English cucumber, (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half moons)
½ cup cherry tomatoes, (halved)
2 baby bell peppers, (sliced into rings)
1 to 2 green onions, (trimmed, whites and greens chopped)
½ cup Basil leaves, (cilantro, or parsley)
8 to 10 ounces large shrimp, (peeled and deveined)
Kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Extra virgin olive oil
½ lemon
1 head butter lettuce or other artisan lettuce you like

Steps:

  • Make the tahini green goddess dressing according to this recipe.
  • Prepare and slice the vegetables and set them aside.
  • Pat the shrimp dry and toss it with kosher salt, the garlic powder, and dried oregano.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick pan. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until just pink and no longer grey. Immediately squeeze the lemon all over the shrimp.
  • Assemble the lettuce wrap. Take one lettuce leaf (or you can overlap two leaves if you're using smaller lettuce leaves) and arrange some of the veggies and fresh herbs on top. Add 1 to 2 shrimp. And finish with a drizzle of the green goddess dressing.
  • Serve the lettuce wraps with a bit more of the green goddess dressing on the side.

SAMBAL SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS



Sambal Shrimp Lettuce Wraps image

If you purchase frozen peeled, deveined shrimp, they'll come with their tails taken off, which is totally fine for this recipe. If you want to grill instead, thread the shrimp onto a skewer after marinating.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
4 tsp. toasted sesame oil, divided
1 1/2 lb. large shrimp
Kosher salt
1-2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds
Flaky sea salt
2 heads of Bibb lettuce, leaves separated, covered, chilled
1/2 cup mint sprigs
1/2 cup crushed salted, dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Whisk hot chili paste, honey, vinegar, and 2 tsp. sesame oil in a small bowl to combine. Season shrimp lightly with kosher salt and place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in half of marinade and seal bag. Transfer remaining marinade to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Let shrimp sit at room temperature, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even coating, 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp from marinade, allowing excess to drip back into bag, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches and adding another 1 Tbsp. oil along the way if the skillet is looking dry, arrange shrimp in skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed 2 minutes (the marinade will have darkened in color and some of the sugars in it will have started to caramelize). Turn shrimp over and cook 30 seconds. Transfer to a platter.
  • Arrange cucumbers on platter next to shrimp; season with sea salt and drizzle with remaining 2 tsp. sesame oil. Arrange lettuce leaves and mint sprigs on platter so that each component is visible and easily accessible. Place crushed peanuts in a small bowl and set out next to platter along with reserved marinade (for spooning into wraps).

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

24 shrimp (U16 size), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Olive oil, for drizzling
8 lettuce cups
Creamy Herb Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh dill leaves
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili paste
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Juice of up to 2 lemons
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high.
  • Double-skewer the shrimp with 2 metal skewers, one skewer through the thicker part of the shrimp and one close to the tail (wooden skewers will work too, but soak for 30 minutes in water first); skewer 6 shrimp per skewer set. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and skewers.
  • Mix together the paprika, garlic powder and coriander in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the shrimp with the seasoning mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
  • Arrange the shrimp on the lettuce cups and drizzle with the Creamy Herb Sauce. Top with the cilantro and dill.
  • Combine the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mayonnaise, chili paste and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice as needed to make the sauce as thick, thin or acidic as you'd like. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Making Grilled Shrimp Lettuce Wraps:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. This will ensure that the shrimp are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture. This will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor and keep them moist during grilling.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp lettuce wraps immediately. This will help to ensure that the shrimp are hot and flavorful.
  • Garnish the shrimp lettuce wraps with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include avocado, cucumber, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp lettuce wraps are a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With a few simple tips, you can make grilled shrimp lettuce wraps that are sure to please everyone at your table. .
