Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 head butter or romaine lettuce
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the peeled shrimp and cook about 2 minutes on each side or until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet.
- Add the butter and hot sauce to the skillet and stir until melted. Turn off the heat and return the shrimp to the pan. Toss to coat well in the buffalo sauce.
- Assemble shrimp and toppings inside the lettuce shells and enjoy!
Notes
- Lettuce: Butter lettuce makes softer cups; romaine gives the wraps more crunch. Dry the leaves well so they hold the filling.
- Frozen shrimp: Thaw completely and pat dry before cooking. Remove the tails before adding the shrimp to the sauce.
- Lighter sauce: Replace the 3 tablespoons of butter with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, or use a prepared lower-fat Buffalo sauce without adding butter.
