Ingredients

  • 1 pound Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha Sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Diced
  • 1 pinch Coarse Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 3 ounces, weight Thin Rice Noodles
  • 1 head Butter Or Boston Lettuce, Leaves Separated
  • 1 whole Carrot, Julienned
  • 3 whole Scallions, Finely Sliced
  • ¼ cups Cilantro
  • ¼ cups Soy Sauce For Drizzling

Preparation

In a sealable plastic bag, combine the shrimp, 2 tablespoons oil, sriracha sauce and garlic. Seal and toss bag to coat the shrimp. Marinate at least 1 hour in the fridge.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and sear on one side for 2 minutes; flip and sear 30 more seconds. Remove from pan and set aside.

To the pan, add the last tablespoon of oil and add the diced red bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat.

Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a sauce pan and cook the rice noodles until soft, 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

In each lettuce cup, start with the rice noodles. Then add the red pepper, followed by the carrots. Add 3 or 4 shrimp per cup and garnish with scallions and cilantro.

Drizzle a little bit of soy sauce into each one. Have napkins handy.

Thank you for sharing such a yummy recipe. We tried this for dinner last night and my husband who is mainly a meat and potato man, loved this as well. It was light and refreshing and would be a perfect meal for the hot summer days. This recipe is definitely going into my recipe box and I will make it again and again.
