Shrimp and Black Bean Lettuce Wrap
Serves 4 to 6

Bryony and Inara

Marilu: This Asian-influenced Tex-Mex flavor actually happened by accident during one of those "I'm in the mood for this flavor kind" of moments.

Tasters' comments: "Wonderful combo of the sweetness in scallions and cilantro." "Fun to eat"

 


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, fresh or dried
  • 1 pound fresh rock shrimp, shelled and cleaned
  • 1 cup chopped red onions Salt and pepper to taste
  • One 10-ounce can black beans
  • 1 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 head butter lettuce, cleaned and separated

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil with chili pepper and ginger over low heat. Add shrimp to mixture and turn heat to medium-low. Saute until shrimp turn pink, about 8 minutes. Set aside. In a separate skillet, saute red onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add one-third of the black beans, saute, and mash the beans. Add remaining beans, saute, leaving those beans whole.

Add shrimp mixture, scallions, and cilantro. Saute for 2 additional minutes.

Serve wrapped in butter lettuce or in a bowl so each individual can wrap his or her own.
