Mealthy Tip

This recipe would also be delicious with sliced, sautéed chicken thighs in place of the shrimp. Vegetarian? Cut a 1-pound block of tofu into strips, and pat dry. Heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet, and cook tofu strips until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Place in lettuce wraps instead of shrimp.

Julie Carew says:

Easy and yummy lunch for the week! The sauce made enough that I also put it on grilled chicken for dinner one night - delicious!

Jacqulyne de Jardins says:

Great snack during work! I believe it tastes better when the shrimp is served cold. I made this with almond butter instead of peanut butter (not a peanut butter fan) and it worked very well! Great recipe to prep the shrimp the night before to pack up for lunch the next day.

Katie Hason says:

These shrimp lettuce wraps were so good! I love lettuce wraps anyways, but always make them vegetarian. This version was so good, the peanut sauce was perfect. It's also super quick to make, so during the week I don't have to spend an elaborate amount of time in the kitchen.

Dominique M says:

I added avocado and cucumber to my lettuce wraps, and they were so delicious. I also garnished with cilantro, as shown in the picture. So yummy! The peanut sauce is a must.

McKenzie C says:

Super simple shrimp lettuce wraps! I changed the peanut sauce a little. I added rice vinegar, ginger, and skipped the sriracha all together. This is super quick and tasty, especially on weeknights. I'd definitely make it again.

DC Cote says:

I made a "minced" shrimp lettuce wrap following the same ingredients for this recipe. I really liked the peanut sauce, too. Even though the sauce has Sriracha in it, I drizzled extra Sriracha on top. So yummy!

Shannon Bowie Persha says:

One of the easiest and tinniest recipes ever!!! Not the best standalone peanut sauce I’ve ever had, but when paired with everything it was perfect. Loved loved loved 👏👏👏👏
