How to make keto shrimp lettuce wraps
This recipe is super easy and ready to go in 20 minutes. You just want to make sure your shrimp are thawed and chopped! I love using frozen already peeled and deveined shrimp. The best part about this recipe is it doesn't matter what size shrimp you use since they are bring chopped.
The lettuce: I like to use the living lettuce Because it makes the perfect cups for these shrimp lettuce wraps. You could also use romaine lettuce boats.
The cauliflower rice: I use frozen cauliflower rice because it is so easy. You could also make your own using a small head of cauliflower and a food processor.
Spice it up: These keto shrimp lettuce wraps do not include any spice because I am not a fan, but you could definitely add a sliced Thai chili to the mix for a little heat.

I made your keto shrimp lettuce wraps and it turn out awesome. I added red pepper, left over broccoli and a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce. My husband LOVED it! I have enough shrimp left to make it again. YUM!
