Description

Delicious shrimp lettuce wraps served with a homemade cocktail sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup Sugar-Free Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mayo (or more)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice (see notes)
  • 2 teaspoons cream-style horseradish, or more
  • 1 pound frozen cooked shrimp, thawed overnight in the fridge and drained well
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 large head iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Remove shrimp from the refrigerator and let drain in a colander placed in the sink.
  2. Whisk together the sugar-free ketchup, mayo, lemon juice, and horseradish.
  3. Taste the cocktail sauce and adjust mayo or horseradish as desired.
  4. When shrimp have drained well, pat them dry with paper towels.
  5. Depending on what size shrimp you use, cut them into pieces as desired.
  6. Slice the celery into thin pieces and chop enough green onion to make about 1/4 cup.
  7. Combine the shrimp, celery, and green onion in a bowl.
  8. Cut the iceberg lettuce in half, remove the core, and discard any damaged leaves.
  9. Peel off 2-3 pieces of lettuce at a time to form a “cup.”
  10. Scoop desired amount of the shrimp mixture into each lettuce cup and top with cocktail sauce.
  11. Eat the Shrimp Lettuce Wraps right away.
  12. Refrigerate leftover ingredients separately.

Notes

  • Consider starting with less horseradish and adjusting to taste.
  • You may need two heads of lettuce for enough cups depending on size.
