Zesty Shrimp & Crab Lettuce Wraps

Method

1. 1

   Begin by preparing your shrimp: Pat the shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a beautiful sear.

2. 2

   Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the dried shrimp and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn opaque pink and slightly caramelised. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

3. 3

   While the shrimp cools, finely shred the crab sticks into delicate strands, mimicking the texture of pulled seafood. Place them in a medium mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Prepare your fresh vegetables: wash and separate the crisp romaine lettuce leaves, setting them aside. Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh coriander. Slice the creamy avocado into small cubes.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, combine the entire Fresh Hot & Spicy DIP with the juice of one fresh lime. Whisk well to create a vibrant, tangy dressing.

6. 6

   Once cooled, roughly chop the seared shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped shrimp, diced red onion, and most of the chopped coriander to the bowl with the shredded crab. Pour half of the spicy lime dressing over the mixture and gently toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Arrange the pristine romaine lettuce cups on a platter. Spoon a generous portion of the zesty shrimp and crab mixture into each lettuce cup, creating an inviting base.

8. 8

   Top each wrap with the creamy avocado cubes and a drizzle of the remaining spicy lime dressing. Garnish with the reserved fresh coriander for a final aromatic flourish.

9. 9

   Serve immediately and watch your guests dive into these refreshingly spicy and satisfying wraps!
