Peel and devein the shrimp if not already prepared. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, liquid aminos, stevia (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the shrimp in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them sit for 5-10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
Remove the shrimp from the heat and let them cool slightly.
Lay out the lettuce leaves on a plate. Place an even amount of shrimp in the center of each leaf.
Gently wrap the lettuce around the shrimp to form small wraps or tacos. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, healthy HCG Phase 2 meal!
