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.

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 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic
1⁄2 teaspoon roasted chile powder or red chili flakes
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
Kosher salt
1⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, lemon juice or white vinegar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Quick Pickles (see recipe below)
12 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
1⁄2 English cucumber, peeled and cut into 2-inch matchsticks
Fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups cooked jasmine rice, warmed (optional)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup hot water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt
2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned
8 medium red radishes, julienned

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.
