STICKY CARAMELIZED SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS
Steps:
- For the shrimp: In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering-hot. Add the garlic and chili powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, less than 1 minute. Add the shrimp in an even layer and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, turning once, until the shrimp are lightly browned and almost cooked through, but still slightly translucent, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and wipe out the wok with a paper towel. Place a measuring cup with 1⁄4 cup water next to your cooktop. Set the wok over medium heat and add the brown sugar, lime juice (this helps keep the sugar from crystallizing) and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring often, until the sugar turns into an amber-colored caramel (it should be as thick as honey), 6 to 7 minutes. Then, stir in the fish sauce and soy sauce and remove from the heat. Once a smooth sticky sauce forms (about as thick as honey), after 30 seconds or so, add the cooked shrimp, scallions and scallions, toss to coat.
- Assemble the lettuce wraps: Remove the Quick Pickles (see recipe below) from the fridge and arrange the lettuce leaves, cucumber and cilantro on a serving platter. To serve, spoon some of the shrimp onto a lettuce leaf along with some rice (if using) and top with a few pickles, cucumber and a sprig of cilantro. Roll up and eat immediately.
- In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar water, sugar and 2 pinches of salt and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrot and radishes and toss to combine. Transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 20 minutes.
SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS RECIPE
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.

GRILLED CHIMICHURRI SHRIMP WRAPS
Packed with parsley, garlic and vinegar, chimichurri is easy to make at home. Having a store-bought version of the Argentinian and Uruguayan condiment on hand makes these mash-up wraps even more convenient. Here, Ree tosses grilled shrimp in the herby sauce, then folds them into Indian naan filled with avocado, pickled red onion and arugula. For a final crowd-pleasing touch, she tucks crispy french fries directly into the wraps.

Steps:
- Cook the fries according to the package instructions.
- Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to a bowl along with the olive oil and toss. Sprinkle the shrimp with the steak seasoning. Grill the shrimp until plump and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the grill, then add them to a bowl. Toss with the half of the chimichurri sauce. Set aside.
- Place the naan breads on the grill to warm and slightly char, about a minute per side.
- To build, divide and spread the aioli on the grilled naan. Divide the arugula, avocado, tomatoes and pickled onions between the two. Top with the shrimp, fries and remaining chimichurri.
