Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 stalks spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 pieces butter lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
Clean and pat dry the shrimp with a paper towel.
In a bowl, mix sambal oelek, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and salt, creating a marinade.
Add shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, use a vegetable peeler to slice the cucumbers into thin, wide ribbons.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a clean surface. Place 2-3 cucumber ribbons in each leaf as a base.
Add a few cooked shrimp on top of the cucumbers. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions, cilantro, and mint.
Drizzle any remaining marinade from the shrimp over the wraps for extra flavor.
Carefully fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create wraps.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and spicy Shrimp Cucumber Sambal Wrap!
