Bang Bang Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with Mango Salsa




If I've ever made a 5 star recipe, this is it. These are about to become your official summer meal. Great for when you get a little tired of salads but still want something fun and refreshing. Using store bought coconut shrimp helps keep these super easy, but you can of course make your own.


 

Bang Bang Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with Mango Salsa


Prep Time: 15minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Yield: 6 wraps


INGREDIENTS


For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup kewpie or olive oil mayonnaise (you can use any kind of mayonnaise but these taste best in my opinion)

  • 1/4 cup sweet Thai chili sauce

  • 3 tbs sriracha hot sauce

For the Mango Salsa

  • 2 fresh, ripe mangos (1 & 1/2 cup), small diced

  • 2 tbs jalapeño, seeds removed, minced

  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, small diced

  • 1/4 cup red onion

  • 1 avocado, small diced

  • 1/4 cup cilantro

  • 1 tsp fleur de sel

To Assemble

  • 18 frozen store bought coconut shrimp

  • 6 large romaine lettuce leaves (leafy green part only)

  • 1/4 cup green onion, minced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Prepare the coconut shrimp according to package directions. While the shrimp is cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce. Add all of the ingredients for the bang bang sauce in a bowl and whisk until fully combined. Set aside until ready to use.

  2. Prepare the mango salsa. Add all of the ingredients for the mango salsa in a bowl and mix well to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning, then put covered in the fridge until ready to use.
