Description

These lettuce wraps make a quick and healthy lunch! Plus there’s fresh dill involved. I love fresh dill.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups Chicken, Seafood, Or Vegetable Broth
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 8 ounces, weight Large Uncooked Shrimp (peeled, Tails On), Thawed
  • 2 Tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 whole English Cucumber, Diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (about 1 Small Lemon)
  • 1 dash Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 6 whole Pieces Of Green/red Leaf Or Butter Lettuce
  • 3 Tablespoons Crumbled Feta Or Cotija Cheese

Preparation

Place chicken broth in a skillet and heat to medium-high heat. Add garlic. Cook for a minute or so, then add shrimp. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside to cool. Add vinegar to the skillet and let the sauce reduce to about a third.

When shrimp are cool enough to handle, remove all the tails and chop coarsely. Combine chopped shrimp in a medium bowl with reduced pan juices/garlic, diced cucumber, dill, lemon juice, and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Spoon filling into lettuce leaves, sprinkle with a little cheese, and serve.

Makes 6-8 lettuce cups or enough for 2-3 people.

I just made these for the first time and they are terrific. I added three asperagas chopped finely to the chicken broth and garlic. Then I added an avacado and flat leaf parsley on the platter. YUM and beautiful!

Nice healthy recipe. I like the idea of lettuce wraps, too.
I like the taste of cucumber, shrimp, and dill mixed together.

Made this last night and it was superb! So light and fresh, and really easy! I didn’t have any feta, so I left out the cheese. Thanks for posting! :)
