Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound medium to large fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 green onions, diced
  • 1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and halved
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Add the shrimp and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In a medium skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, green onions, and water chestnuts, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and marinade, and cook until the shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining soy sauce.

    Delicious and light! I used Asian cabbage instead of lettuce. I will definitely make this again - it's the perfect healthy snack!

    I had this over a couple days and tried it a couple ways. I followed the recipe and then added one element at the end: fresh chili paste 1/4 teaspoon - To add a bit of heat. It was a nice add. The first day I ate this with the lettuce wraps. It was very testy, but a bit liquidy which gave me the idea for day two - angel hair pasta. Mine was quite saucy so I felt that pasta would be a nice choice. It was quite tasty. I would make this again!
