Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

For the Lettuce Wraps:
1 head of Lettuce
1 lb. large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Avocado, sliced into strips
½ Cucumber, sliced into strips
½ bunch Cilantro
1 medium Carrot, cut into matchsticks

For the Dipping Sauce:
¾ cup Newman’s Own low-fat sesame ginger dressing (note. this dressing contains wheat so if you're gluten free, try: Braggs ginger sesame)
2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter (microwave 30 sec if peanut butter refrigerated)

Instructions

1.Rinse and pat dry your shrimp. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to a large hot non-stick skillet. Once oil is hot, add shrimp and sauté on med/high heat 2 min per side or until cooked through. Don't overcook them or they will turn rubbery.

2.Cut your cucumber and carrot into thin matchsticks. Slice your avocado into strips.

3.Make your dressing by whisking together the ¾ cup sesame ginger dressing with the 2 Tbsp. peanut butter. If you have a tightly sealed Tupperware, you can put it in there and shake it up until it's nice and smooth.

4.Assemble your lettuce wraps with a lettuce leaf, several strips of carrot and cucumber, a decent slice of avocado, 2 shrimps and a couple good sized sprigs of cilantro. Don't skip on the cilantro. Then drizzle the top with the peanut dipping sauce. Yum.
