Very tastey!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Had to make triple the recipe to feed 6 people though. Definitely not enough, but very very good!

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved these wraps when I made them tonight. Perfect for a hot summer day. I made them just as the recipe states... with the exception that I put out some fresh cilantro to add to each wrap - sooo good, there were no leftovers at all.Read more

Good recipe
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made these with chicken rather than shrimp and used 1/2 sesame oil and 1/2 canola oil, more garlic and some chili paste.... The sauce is very thin-next time I think I will leave the sauce in the pan and reduce it or thicken it a bit with some cornstarch. The flavor was good, I did receive favorable comments from party guests.Read more

Wonderful Snack

I didn't have shrimp so I used chicken and it turned out delicious. Great for a light summer luncheon.

Great Flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The flavor in this dish is very good. The only issue I had was that the shrimp had a bit too much marinade, even after it... was cooked. While I tried to remove some of it before making the wraps, it still made the lettuce wraps really messy to eat. I think I might try and find a different way to eat this shrimp.Read more
