Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled, deveined)
• 12 leaves Lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce or romaine)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the shrimp are marinating, rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Set them aside for wrapping later.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil.

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and let them cool slightly.

Step 8

To assemble, lay a lettuce leaf flat and place 2-3 cooked shrimp in the center. Sprinkle with green onions and a pinch of red chili flakes if using.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the lettuce over the shrimp to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and lettuce leaves.

Step 10

Serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal, optionally garnished with additional lime wedges for squeezing.
