Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Cool the Shrimp

    Remove the skillet from heat and let the shrimp cool slightly before assembling the wraps.

Cocktail Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and Tabasco sauce. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the cocktail sauce and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more horseradish or Tabasco for extra heat if desired.

Wrap Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Lettuce Leaves

    Carefully wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Lay them flat on a clean surface.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Wraps

    In each lettuce leaf, place a few shrimp, a slice of avocado, and a few halved cherry tomatoes. Top with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

  3. 8

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the shrimp cocktail lettuce wraps with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
