Mango shrimp in a lettuce shell and topped with a fresh, zesty, mango salsa. This light lunch is the perfect meal!
I love all things shrimp, and with the cold weather we have been experiencing lately, I have been craving all things tropical, sunny, and fun. These lettuce wraps were the perfect solution for my cold weather blues because they taste light summer!
The shrimp is cooked in a mango and sweet chili sauce puree, and are sweet with a hint of spice. And the fresh salsa is crunchy, creamy, and tasty! Basically it is a winning combination and one I could eat all year round.
I start by cooking the shrimp in a delicious mango sauce. It is really tasty just by itself, so you may need to make extra in order to have some left for the lettuce wraps!
Then I whip up this mango avocado salsa. It is so flavorful and really makes these lettuce wraps pop.
Then I assemble and enjoy!
