Ingredients
- 1 head butter lettuce or romain lettuce hearts
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- ½ tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon canola or avocado oil divided
- 30 grams cashews little less than ¼ cup, coarsely chopped
- 6 oz Shrimp deveined & cut into small cubes
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1/2 large red bell pepper seeded and diced
- 3 green onions the white and green parts, sliced
- ⅛ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 carrot shredded or cut into thin strips.
Instructions
- Divide the lettuce into leaves and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat ½ tablespoon canola or avocado oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
- Add the shrimp and stir-fry until browned. About 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and discard any juices from the pan.
- In the same skillet, heat the other ½ tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic, bell pepper, green onions, and carrots.
- Stir fry until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and add the cashews and cilantro. Add the soy-sauce mixture and stir-fry until the shrimp is throughly cooked. About 3 minutes.
- Spoon the shrimp mixture evenly onto lettuce leaves.
Notes
- 1) If you don't have a wok, use a cast iron skillet since they heat more evenly than a regular skillet.
- 2) Make sure not to overcook the shrimp as it can turn rubbery.
