A quick and easy dinner that’s also healthy and flavorful. Asian-style lettuce wraps are filled with a sweet and spicy mixture of shrimp and veggies.
To cut down on prep time, start with peeled and deveined frozen shrimp, just give them a quick thaw in cool water. And no chopping required thanks to prepackaged broccoli slaw from the produce section is another time saver. It’s one of my favorite shortcuts and you’ll find that you can use it in so many ways.
Serve the delicious shrimp and slaw mixture in tender Bibb lettuce leaves for an easy, delicious meal that’s perfect for any night of the week.
