Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large shrimp, deveined and peeled
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 6 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble spring rolls, take a large romaine lettuce leaf and place it flat on a surface.
Place a few julienned carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper slices on the lettuce leaf near one end.
Add two cooked shrimp on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle a few fresh cilantro and mint leaves over the top for added flavor.
Carefully roll the lettuce leaf from the end with the filling, similar to rolling a burrito, ensuring the filling is tightly packed and secure.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the remaining spring rolls.
For the dipping sauce, combine almond butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and water in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
