Monday night lettuce wraps at the IICD house


The dreary rainy weather inspired me to make something that would transport us to a warmer sunnier place.  Justin requested shrimp, and after the weekend I wanted to give the guys something super healthy to jumpstart their week...... Lettuce wraps it was.  I served mine with a peanut dipping sauce, and simply stir fried the shrimp with sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and chili.




Peanut Dipping Sauce
-2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
-4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
-6 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
-1 teaspoon chili oil
-1 teaspoon sesame oil
-4 large cloves garlic
-2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
-warm water as needed

Blend all ingredients except for water in a blender or food processor.  Slowly add warm water as needed to get sauce to desired consistency (yogurt like thickness).

  1. What is the red thing in the first picture? Also, can you post the recipe for the pasta you made the night Big Mike visited the house? It looked delicious!
