Lettuce Wraps Recipe

These are so very good and easy to make. I pretty much made up the recipe as I went along.

Lettuce Wraps, Vegetarian or Shrimp

1/2 bag broccoli slaw
1/2 bag shredded carrots
2 chopped green onions
1 lb sliced mushrooms
1/2 green pepper, diced small
2 stalks celery, chopped small
6 oz frozen shrimp, cooked, remove tails
1/2 cup plain yogurt
ranch seasoning
season salt
garlic powder
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cucumber, chopped
1 head bib lettuce (or any other soft lettuce that has a nice 'cup' type leaf)

Spray skillet with nonstick spray. Saute slaw, carrots, green onions, mushrooms, pepper and celery until soft. It just takes a few minutes. Remove from skillet, spray again with nonstick spray, add shrimp. Sprinkle shrimp in skillet with season salt and garlic powder. Saute shrimp quickly for just a few minutes. Add half of the vegetable mixture back to pan for the non vegans, and keep the rest aside for the vegans.

Mix about a teaspoon of powdered ranch seasoning into the yogurt. Add a bit of season salt and stir.

To create wraps, spread a spoonful of the yogurt sauce on a lettuce leaf. Add a scoop of either shrimp mixture or the veggies. Top with tomato and cucumber. Enjoy!

I think you could also bulk this up a bit by using leftover steak, chicken, or turkey. The veggies are my preference, you could certainly use anything you liked, or omit any you don't.
