Toasted Seeds

Lettuce Cups

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until shrimp are well coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Yuzu Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste, then set aside.

Toasted Seeds Preparation

  1. 5

    Toast the Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. Toast for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Assembling the Lettuce Cups

  1. 6

    Assemble the Cups

    Take a butter lettuce leaf and fill it with a spoonful of the cabbage-carrot slaw, a few grilled shrimp, and drizzle with yuzu vinaigrette. Top with toasted seeds for extra crunch.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the lettuce cups immediately and enjoy as a fresh, light appetizer or meal.
