Description

Ingredients

• 1 head of Lettuce.
• 1 lb large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Avocado, sliced into strips
• ½ Cucumber, sliced into strips
• ½ bunch Cilantro
• 1 medium Carrot, cut into matchsticks
• ¾ cup Newman’s Own lowfat sesame ginger dressing (P.S. this dressing contains wheat so if youre gluten free, try: Braggs ginger sesame)
• 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter (microwave 30 sec if peanut butter refrigerated)

Directions

• Rinse and pat dry your shrimp. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large hot non-stick skillet. Once oil is hot, add shrimp and saute on med/high heat 2 min per side or until cooked through. Dont overcook them or they will turn rubbery.
• Cut your cucumber and carrot into thin matchsticks. Slice your avocado into strips. You should find a prettier avocado though; one that doesnt look as sickly as mine.
• Make your dressing by whisking together the ¾ cup sesame ginger dressing with the 2 Tbsp peanut butter. If you have a tightly sealed tupperware, you can put it int there and shake er up until its nice and smooth. This sauce is so so tasty and way too easy!
• Assemble your lettuce wraps with a lettuce leaf, several strips of carrot and cucumber, a decent slice of avocado, 2 shrimps and a couple good sized sprigs of cilantro. Dont skip on the cilantro. At least give it a whirl. It totally reminds me of spring rolls and makes the entire spring roll dangerously enticing. Then drizzle the top with the peanut dipping sauce. Yum.
