Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large shrimp
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 small carrot
- 0.5 small cucumber
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons raw almond butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Boil a small pot of water and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool.
Peel and julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin matchstick pieces.
Cut the avocado into thin slices.
Chop the cilantro and mint leaves finely.
Cut the lime in half, and juice one half. Slice the other half into wedges for serving.
In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, almond butter, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the dipping sauce.
Lay a lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Place 2 shrimp at the bottom of the leaf, followed by a few pieces of julienned carrot, cucumber, avocado slices, cilantro, and mint.
Gently roll the lettuce, tucking in the sides as you go to create a tight roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients until all rolls are assembled.
Serve with the dipping sauce and lime wedges on the side.
