Sriracha Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Description
The shrimp are cooked in a warmed sauce made from lime juice, cornstarch, and sriracha, which thickens to coat each shrimp evenly. This cooking method ensures the shrimp absorb the bright, spicy flavors while maintaining a tender texture. The avocado cabbage slaw adds coolness and crunch, mixing diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, thinly sliced red cabbage, lemon juice, and salt.
To serve, cooked shrimp are placed in iceberg or other crisp lettuce leaves topped with the slaw, resulting in a refreshing wrap with contrasting textures from the soft shrimp, creamy avocado, crunchy cabbage, and crisp lettuce.
The recipe advises using raw shrimp for best texture, avoiding pre-cooked frozen shrimp which can become rubbery. It is recommended to consume the wraps fresh to preserve the crispness and flavors.
