Shrimp Lettuce Wraps image

Lettuce forms a crispy shell that's full of possibilities, depending on what's in your fridge. Swap shrimp for cooked chicken, pork or tofu. Mix in any veggies you want: carrots, broccoli, snow peas and chopped zucchini are all fantastic add-ins. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I didn't have any lettuce on hand, so I used rice paper wrappers instead. They worked great!

The shrimp was a bit overcooked, but the rest of the wrap was good.

I found the sauce to be a bit too spicy, but otherwise these wraps were great.

I'm not usually a fan of lettuce wraps, but these were surprisingly good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.
