Directions

1. To make the shrimp lettuce wraps: in a bowl, combine all ingredients (peanut butter, rice vinegar, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic) until smooth, and set aside. You can use your blender for a creamier texture.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add raw shrimp and cook until golden, about 2 – 3 minutes.

3. Stir in crushed chili pepper, cumin, ginger, onion and cook for 1 minute. Add zucchini and soy sauce and cook for 1 minute, then add carrot, jalapeño, garlic, bell pepper, and chives. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes more, vegetables should be still crunchy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

4. To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the shrimp and vegetable mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style. Serve the shrimp lettuce wraps along with the remaining cooking juice if you like. Don’t forget to dip in the peanut sauce — Enjoy!

    We really enjoyed it. Although next time I would omit the crushed red chili pepper flakes.

    This was delicious! My husband and I both loved it. I used only about a 1/4 of a tsp. of the red chili flakes and used sprouts instead of zucchini, but followed the rest of the recipe to the T. The sauce is awesome.
