These Fresh Mango Shrimp Lettuce Wraps are light, flavorful, and quick to prepare, combining juicy shrimp, sweet mango, and crisp lettuce for a perfect bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen shrimp)
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated and washed
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized cubes. Rinse and separate the lettuce leaves, pat dry. Dice the red bell pepper, slice green onions thinly, chop cilantro, and mince garlic.
  2. Cook the Shrimp (8-10 minutes): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp in a single layer, season with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  3. Mix the Filling (5 minutes): In a large bowl, combine cooked shrimp, diced mango, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro. Drizzle lime juice and honey over the mixture. Gently toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Assemble the Wraps (5 minutes): Lay out lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Spoon shrimp and mango mixture into each leaf. Fold or roll lettuce carefully to hold filling without tearing.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh to maintain crispness of lettuce and juiciness of mango. If preparing ahead, store filling and lettuce separately in the fridge and assemble before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent rubbery texture. Dry lettuce leaves thoroughly to keep wraps crisp. Gently toss filling to avoid mashing mango. Optional toppings include toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for extra crunch. Can substitute coconut oil for olive oil or cilantro with fresh mint.
