Fresh lettuce wraps filled with shrimp, carrots, and red peppers on a wooden cutting board.

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 red hot chili pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 pound shrimp
  • 8 leaves butterhead lettuce
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1 serving daikon, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mung bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup dry roasted unsalted peanuts

Directions:

  1. Combine lime juice, sesame oil, minced chili pepper, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. 
  2. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.  Add shrimp; simmer until pink, about 3 minutes.  Drain; add to lime juice mixture and toss to coat.  Refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes.  
  3. Set lettuce leaves on a counter with stem ends toward you.  Press against the spines until you hear a crunch to make it easier to roll. 
  4. Divide carrot, daikon, and sprouts among leaves, setting them in the centers toward the bottom.  Divide shrimp among leaves; sprinkle with chopped peanuts.  Roll lettuce from the bottom up.  
  5. Place each roll, seam side down, on a sheet of plastic wrap; wrap tightly and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove wrap; cut rolls in half and serve.
