Love it, Paula. Thank you. I used small shrimp b/c I think they are sweeter and easier to clean than the bigger ones. We skipped the bell pepper and water chestnuts. Still delish. Definitely only serves 2 in our house. Big grins, Two North Carolina Ladies.

We loved this recipe! It does not serve 6. Tonight it served 2 : I used 1/2 veg. oil and 1/2 sesame oil and added some crushed red pepper for alittle heat. I soaked my 1/2 head of lettuce in ice water and drained it to make it extra crisp. I only wish I had leftovers for lunch!

I loved this recipe! I live in Texas, and for mid-July this is a light but fufilling dinner. I actually had everything in my pantry/fridge for this, I added a jalapeno and had to pick up ice burg lettuce. I didn't have time to marinate, so I threw everything in a pan and topped off the lettuce wraps with a bit of teryaki sauce. This is a keeper!!
